LIFE AS A BOARDING STUDENT

Daily Life and Routines Boarding students follow the regular Day School schedule, in addition to a balanced schedule for evenings and weekends. The regular school day includes breaks, transition time between classes and a one-hour lunch break, while the evenings offer a combination of study, programming and free time.
