Both the House and School are situated on the same campus together with the Brothers' residence. At a time when many boarding schools worldwide are being phased out, St Patrick House has enhanced its facilities and upgraded some bedrooms to accommodate college students.
Boarders range from the first to fourth years and are placed four to a bedroom according to age.
Many educational establishments provide their boarders with the only criterion for success that they know - academic excellence. Here, in St Patrick House, the boarders are expected to do their best. However, each boarder competes with himself and is not made to feel better or worse than his peer. A minimum level of average grades is required for admission, and by maintainng this standard, most boarders have no difficulty gaining admission to one of several junior colleges in Singapore. During their stay, those boys wishing to return to their home country for government examinations are given leave to do so.
