What are the benefits of boarding?
Studies have shown that boarding students study more, participate in more community activities, and are better able to learn independence and responsibility to a greater degree than their peers in day schools. Our students are especially well suited to the boarding program as it helps them develop greater social, life, executive functioning, and leadership skills than would be possible in a traditional day program. Most importantly, the boarding program enhances the child’s liklihood of developing strong, long-lasting friendships. Boarding programs which emphasize academics also provide additional opportunities to develop one’s skills to their fullest. “During the academic year, boarding schools become extended families where teachers and students live and learn together. The 24-hour community of a boarding school environment allows the faculty to seize every teachable moment whether in the classroom, on the playing field, or in the dormitory.
