Residential Life

One of the advantages of living at school is that the day doesn't end when the last bell rings. The campus is your neighborhood, a place where everyone you pass says hello, and everyone very quickly knows your name. Your neighbors are your friends and classmates, but also your houseparents and teachers.

We help each other become the best versions of ourselves by learning from one another. Before long, the friendships you make here will make your new neighborhood feel like home.

Our House system lies at both the heart of our mission and the boarding school tradition. You and your fellow classmates live, study, and sleep in your House, and together you will continue traditions - and invent new ones - that are the fabric of our School life.
