The boarding facility is a socialisation structure to help promote open-mindedness, adherence to the common rule and respect for others. The purpose of the boarding institution is to help young people grow and acquire independence through time management and community life.

The boarding facility is a welcoming, listening structure. It welcomes youngsters in all their diversity and serves as a place of mediation in touch with young people and their families. Adults are on hand to help young people get to know themselves better and build an identity.

The boarding facility is also a structure to aid personal projects. It offers a top-notch work setting and teaches young people how to organise their working time. Study time is adapted according to individual levels and specificities. Managers are attentive to young people's projects, they diagnose problems and attempt to find a solution. Academic support is largely developed at Saint Gab to help young people relearn how to work.

Each level operates independently, in a way adapted to the pupil's age and the site in question. They are governed by rules that complement the general rules of the institution. Each level has classrooms, study rooms and recreation/sociocultural areas and a courtyard. Study days are supervised by an educator working in liaison with the pupils' teachers.

The educators are tasked with providing assistance and support to help equip young people with the means they require to develop fully.
