WOMEN'S SCHOOL
Married students are encouraged to bring their wives to the College so that those who are able can study in the main College or Women's School.  At the Women's School wives study (in English or Hausa) courses on the Bible, Theology and Church History as well as practical courses such as cooking, sewing and family health care.  Wives with adequate qualifications may enter any of the courses taught in the main College.  Those who are unable to bring their wives must consult the College.  It is preferable for a wife to join her husband for at least one of his years of training, preferably the last year, in consultation with the College.  The emphasis for the women is on basic theological or religious training and home economics in order to prepare these wives to be effective co-workers with their husbands in the ministry.

In married quarters, priority is given to students coming with their families, and those families of final year students will be given priority.

  CHILDREN
       Up to three young children may be brought, and in addition one child who must not be older than 12 years to look after the young children so that both parents can attend classes.  There are afternoon classes for the children looking after the younger ones so that they too are able to have some education.
