The Boarding School Experience
One of the great rewards of a boarding/day school is many of our students and faculty living where they learn and teach. We offer the 5 and 7 day boarding program to students in grades 7-12 with most of our boarding students being in grades 9-12.
All aspects of daily life -- academic, athletic, artistic, recreational and residential -- are pursued among our close-knit community of students and teachers. The residential aspect of boarding school life offers a unique global learning experience for everyone. On average, our students come from over 16 states, the US Virgin Islands, and more than 20 countries. Our boarders comprise over 40% of our Middle and High School population.
our dorms
- 2 to 3 students per dorm room and roommates are decided based on grade level, common interests, and diversity.
- Female and male dorms are separated by alarmed doors at all times and use separate staircases.
- Each room has it’s own bathroom (most schools have community bathrooms), is air conditioned, wireless internet access, and many have waterfront views.
- Teachers, staff, and coaches live with the students in the dormitories or in apartments above the Alumni & Development Center.
- Dormitory comprises of the second and third floor in historic Farragut Hall (which used to be a prestigious hotel called Jungle Prada back in the 1920's) and is continually being renovated, yet preserved.
- Farragut is a gated community with 24/7 campus security and is located in a family-friendly neighborhood.
- Daily Monday-Thursday, rooms are inspected and graded for cleanliness and organization. Room failure or poor scores will result in demerits and possible restriction of leaving campus (liberty) and attending campus activities. If a room receives a certain amount of demerits they may also have to attend Saturday detention as a punishment in which the student must wake up early and do tasks given to them by our disciplinary.
