Boarding

Fostering a Family Spirit

Camaraderie and family spirit are fostered in each house. The individual’s unique strengths and dignity are fiercely protected and life skills like self-management and independence are fostered through the rules, “parenting” and mentoring systems. Newcomers find themselves quickly embraced in the welcoming environment through loving, approachable, prayerful and experienced “mothering” and “fathering” that houseparents provide. All Boarders are required to attend in-house Bible studies. There is ample opportunity to mix socially during the school day, free time and at school events.
