Flat Rock Dormitory Boarding Gr 4 - 9 |
5 & 7-Day Boarding Program Our lovely Flatrock dormitory was built in 1912 and fully renovated in 2019 to be a warm, home-like residence that is set amidst athletic fields which back up to wooded conservation land. The NEW View Street Dorm is a fully renovated turn-of-the-century Victorian-era home that is located adjacent to the main academic building and our gymnasium. We offer a robust and personalized residential life program that is responsive to each individual and the developmental needs of our students. Our location is one hour away from Boston and 30 minutes from Worcester which means that we are conveniently accessible to the many cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities of New England. Our weekend plans include skiing, paddling in the ocean, seeing a college basketball game, and many more fun activities designed to engage and inspire! We also schedule several visits to a range of secondary schools which helps to inform our students’ eventual secondary school searches. Our rigorous and supportive program has long-term proven performance with over 90% of our graduating students receiving admission to their first and / or second choice secondary school. We’re proud to offer ELL, learning support (for both mild academic challenges and to individualize for giftedness) as well as an innovative focus on helping our students develop metacognitive skills needed for long-term success. |
