International & boarding
From when they wake up in the morning to when they go to sleep at night, boarding students spend their days doing a combination of what interests them, fulfilling school responsibilities, and learning how to take care of themselves.
Boarding students are immersed in a 24/7 democratic experience where the primary effect of being responsible for themselves is developing a sense of independence, confidence, and personal resourcefulness. We have weekly dorm meetings to create the rules governing the dorm and assign cleaning responsibilities. We also plan trips in the area to do outdoor activities or visit interesting cultural sites.
A large, modern kitchen allows all the dorm students and staff to share a space where they can eat what they want or make meals together. Grocery shopping is usually handled by assembling a list of what everyone needs or wants and making sure it fits into the planned monthly budget. We then agree on a few of us to go to the store. We have a Dorm Treasurer who keeps a record of what is spent.
