A day in the life of a Cottonian boarder embodies all the values that the school hopes to instill in a student. The day begins with morning studies for which each boarder has to report on time, then after an hour of studies a wholesome breakfast is served and off the boys go to school. A snack session and a lunch in the pantry make sure that boarders never go hungry. When the school hours get over, the playing time begins during which all boarders are encouraged to play- and play with the 'no one gets left behind' spirit. Thus, more abled players in bring the new talents up to their speed. The playing hours are followed by a chapel service and which the boys bow down to the Almighty and ask for his graces. Then a session of evening studies makes sure that a boarder does equally well in his academics as he does on the field. A filling dinner is served in the break between the evening study hours. A punctual lights-out makes sure the boarders catch enough sleep for the next day.
