What parents ask us first

Who looks after the boys at night?: Ten adults are on campus every night, and the boarding staff are on call until morning.
How many boys share a room?: The boys sleep in one large dormitory, divided by form: Forms 1 and 2 on one side, Form 3 in the middle and Form 4 on the other. Each boy has his own bed, locker and table.
What do they eat?: Three meals a day, cooked in the school kitchen. All food is halal and the menu changes every week.
How does prayer fit into the day?: The five daily prayers are prayed together, at about 5:00, 13:00, 16:00, 18:30 and 21:00. Lessons and prep are planned around them.
Can we speak to our son?: Phones are kept by the boarding staff, and a boy can call home on the boarding house phone between activities whenever he asks. You can reach the boarding office on WhatsApp at any time.
What happens if he is ill?: A trained first aider looks after boys in the first-aid room. For anything serious we take him to Maryam Hospital, two minutes away, and call you straight away.

A school day at Olgun

The same rhythm every weekday, so boys know what comes next and parents know where they are.

05:00 Wake up and dawn prayer, then breakfast
07:30 Morning lessons
13:00 Lunch and midday prayer
14:00 Afternoon lessons
16:00 Afternoon prayer, then sport and free time
18:30 Sunset prayer and supper, then evening prep supervised by teachers
21:00 Night prayer
21:30 Lights out

Prayer times follow the sun, so the day moves a little through the year.
