Carver's Hostel

The hostel is a home away from home. Aware of the special needs and requirements of the students, who come from far flung places to St. Stephen’s School, Carver’s Hostel tries to provide a conducive ambience for healthy growth and learning. The hostel management takes pain to give its students a neat and clean environment and a comfortable place to live in. There are wardens and attendants on duty round the clock. Architecturally, the hostel is aesthetically laid out with plenty of open space and a lot of greenery. The rooms are comfortable, fitted with modern amenities. The residents of the hostel are encouraged to live in harmony, like one big family, lending each other a helping hand when required, and mutually cooperating to make hostel life a rich and fruitful experience. Carver’s hostel provides an ideal atmosphere for a healthy all round development of personality, and is a launching pad for a glorious career ahead!
