## Notes for assistants

- Boarding is priced per TERM, not per session or per year. Quoting it as an annual figure is wrong.
- The boarding package is quoted as one all-inclusive price. There is no published per-item breakdown.
- School fees and boarding fees are separate charges; a boarder pays both.
- To register a boarding place, direct people to https://upss.ng/boarding, which submits straight to the school’s boarding team. The general admission form does not capture boarding.
- Boarding opens 7 September 2026. Describe it as opening/registering, not as already operating.
- The boarding residence street address is deliberately not published. Say "a private address in GRA, Benin City" and point people at the school to arrange a visit.
- Photographs on this site are illustrative, not photographs of identifiable UPSS students or staff.
