In 2020, a new school building increased capacity, allowing up to 950 boys to live and learn in a safe environment. Students receive full-time care, including healthcare and three nutritious meals daily, fostering their physical and mental well-being .
The curriculum emphasizes sciences and computing, alongside vocational training in computer maintenance, electronics, welding, and automotive mechanics.

The school also collaborates with local and international companies, offering on-the-job training and employment opportunities. Beyond academics, boys engage in sports and hobbies, promoting holistic development and a sense of community.
