Residential Life

Being part of the residential community allows students to develop their own sense of independence as they navigate a world away from home. Living on campus fosters deep friendships and connections with teachers and adults in an environment that encourages taking risks, enhancing social and emotional skills, and finding who you are. The opportunity to be immersed in an academic environment that places emphasis on finding passions and purpose creates a sense of adventure. Students that live on campus also have the added benefit of delicious meals, esports and gaming, recreational rooms and gyms, along with  beautiful dorm rooms with a private bathroom.

Our goal is to help students get off campus and explore the world in a fun and memorable environment, so we have special activities and trips throughout the week to do so!

Community Days: 

• Community days are held throughout the year; each event is led by a group of house parents. The community day curriculum is designed to help foster growth and community amongst the student body. Community days intend to build cohesion amongst students as they work to create relationships with one another, enhance their experiences within school and as they connect to the broader community.

Weekdays:

• Though it is important for students to focus on their academics, we also want to give them an opportunity to socialize and have fun when they are done. Therefore, weeknight activities are created with the help of the students to engage while also offering structure. These activities include basketball, gaming, baking, dodgeball, arts and crafts, and more.

Weekends:

• On Friday’s, we transport students to the local Target and Solomon Pond Mall for students to stock up on room necessities, hang out, or see a movie.
• On Saturday’s, we have optional trips into the community, including skating, walking tours of Boston or Worcester, skiing, hiking, six flags, Red Sox games, dining out, and karaoke. 
• On Sunday’s, we either engage boarders in a planned, on-campus event or we offer the option to take a small local loop into town for students to explore and relax.
