Campus Life

​

​

ISSU is located on a five-acre campus in the beauty and salubrious comfort of the Nilgiris hills. The campus is a microcosm of the region -- a three-and a-half acre tea garden, a variety of flowering trees and shrubs, green lawns -- brought to life with music from the songbirds and the choirs that practice in the chapel. Situated in various parts of the campus are the staff quarters, the office, a Conference Centre, Chapel, Library, and a Conference room.

The Retreat Centre

The Retreat Centre offers flexibility in accommodating single visitors, couples, families, or groups. The campus and lawns offer ample space for both quiet reflection and solitude, as well as a community of friendly people if one wants the company of others. The setting is ideal for camps from churches, schools, and colleges.
