Night-time Activities

With over 60 student club organizations, 25 arts activities and 25 sports programs with almost 60 teams, our students are very active.

Our boarding students can find friends that share their interests or passions in a service club, special interest club, in our many arts groups, or among our solo athletes or on our sports teams, which include both developmental teams and competitive Varsity teams.

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.

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.
