Boarding Team Boarders call Havergal home. Here they are surrounded by friends, supporters and advisors to help them along the way as they adjust to living on campus. Our Boarding Team lives on-site at the Upper School with the Boarders and ensures that each student receives the individualized care and support they need to thrive at Havergal. Our Boarding staff maintains ongoing communications with parents and guardians to inform them of their child’s accomplishments. Our Boarding Team consists of Head of Boarding, and a variety of staff and student representatives. Boarding staff are dynamic individuals, many with teaching and coaching experience, and serve as a liaison between students, parents and the Day School. They act as advisors, mentors, role models and leaders for Boarders and assist the Boarding Council with planning student activities throughout the year.

Wellbeing Support Student wellbeing is the primary goal of our Boarding School. We get to know each student as an individual and provide an environment that allows them to thrive holistically and one where they can find and pursue their passions. We recognize that for students to succeed academically, they must also care for their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. The Boarding Team plays a critical role in monitoring and supporting students in all areas of our Wellbeing Framework and in guiding both students and parents in their Boarding journey. We meet with Boarding students several times a week to work on their growth plans, in addition to regular meetings with Academic and Wellbeing Teams to review their progress and provide support. Boarding School programs and activities are also aligned to reflect the goals and values of our Wellbeing Framework and help Boarders feel supported. Our Boarding staff are focused on ensuring that students are healthy, happy and engaged in our community. We partner with parents to ensure we have the best support in place for each student. We are also committed to helping students cultivate skills that will prepare them for lifelong wellbeing, for example, an understanding of the importance of sleep, building social connections with their peers or developing healthy relationships and habits.
