Did you know that there are over 300 boarding schools in the US? In fact, over 25 are scattered throughout the state of California alone. Today’s boarding schools exude a college campus atmosphere that welcomes students from all over the world to study and learn in a supportive environment. Given the nature of dorm life, the boarding experience provides opportunities simply not available at public or day schools. These are dynamic, student-centered communities that encourage and celebrate holistic student growth and development. Students and families can expect to find challenging academics, plentiful arts and athletics offerings, and a supervised, structured student life experience.
