An indoor recreational area with facilities like reading materials, assorted games, television & telephone is provided in all the houses. All houses have outside lush green parks as well. Laundry services are provided in each house. GGIOS houses are friendly and comfortable, a home away from home. Dedicated house parents reside in an apartment within each house and interact continually with students, providing a caring, listening ear and sound advice, supervising study times and room cleanliness and encouraging individual spiritual development. A common code of lifestyle expectations helps students to develop self-discipline and responsibility. Houseparents are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of their houses.
In addition to the house parents, the counselors are available to students for counseling and pastoral care when needed. As well, all students whether day or boarding, belong to a group led by a staff member who is responsible for the welfare and academic progress. All the houses and house parents are overseen by the Chief Warden who communicates consistently with the students, their parents and house parents.
