The objective of the survey was to evaluate the effectiveness of various learning activities in the residential school and to obtain students’ feedback. This paper presents the findings of the survey which was analysed both quantitatively and quantitatively. The survey findings are very encouraging, and provide evidence of effectiveness of the residential activities on students’ learning.
