Learn more Residential life We have a mix of both domestic and international students, as well as resident and day students. Five and seven-day boarding in our newly renovated residence hall provides opportunities for students to gain independent living skills within a supportive and nurturing environment. Our boarding program also makes it easier for students with busy families to take full advantage of the many after-school activities we provide at Prep. While boarding offers a unique experience, during the school day, you will find our resident and day students mingling freely, with a sense of community fueled by shared interests and collaborative experiences.
