No matter how busy our students are, academics always take a front row seat. We build time into our boarding students’ schedule to accomplish their homework and study goals. Evening prep-time (study hall) runs from 8:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. during the academic week for studying or taking advantage of extra help and tutorials.
Night-time Activities
Our students have many opportunities to make their own choices, but the day ends by returning to the dorm by 10:00 p.m. and preparing for “lights out” (at 10:00 p.m. for middle schoolers or 11:00 p.m. for high schoolers). Students can make a snack in the kitchen, straighten up their room, and get their uniform ready for tomorrow. Evening prep-time (study hall) runs from 8 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. during the academic week.
