In a dormitory setting designed to mimic a university environment — but with the additional staffing, support services and structure to guide residents — Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ’s residential life program develops habits and skills for success in college and beyond.
Students from around the world are drawn to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ's residence life program for its robust international community, the school's nationally recognized hockey program and the rigorous academics. Our boarding students easily assimilate into the larger Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ community and participate in everything from the golf team to the Psychology Club to the speech and debate team. Whether you join the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ family from another state or another country, you will be part of an incredible community - a true home away from home.

DAILY LIFE
School Days: After their regular school day and participation in after-school activities, residential students keep up with their studies during mandatory supervised study hall in the evenings.
Weekends: Residential students participate in a number of on- and off-campus athletic, extracurricular, academic, cultural or recreational activities, with plenty of unstructured time for balance. Sunday evenings the entire hall gathers for prayer service, reflection and team-building, while special trips and holiday celebrations occur throughout the year.
