Lower School, Circle, and Crescent students eat in the Irwin Dining Center, where each residential House has its own separate dining area. The Fifth Form eats in the Abbott Dining Room of the Upper House. Meal times may vary during the Winter Term to accommodate the needs of athletic teams. At Monday lunches, all students eat with their Academic Advisors. The Dining Services staff welcomes comments and suggestions from all members of the community.
Dining Services is a key element of the Initiative. During the past two years, students have been served meals that are not only healthy and delicious, but are also prepared in a manner that contributes to the conservation of our ecosystem.
Each House is a small group within the larger School community that fosters pride, responsibility, and respect for the contributions of others. The Houses are divided by levels and gender, and these differ in degrees of freedom and supervision. Whether a boarding or day student, all students are assigned to a House which provides a home base for each student. Each house has its own house council, fostering leadership in the house. The students work closely with the faculty members who are affiliated with each house. Members of the faculty live in each House and serve as Heads of House and Assistant Heads of House. They are assisted by other faculty members, who also coach, advise, and perform evening supervision on a rotating basis. In this model, students enjoy a high level of attention and guidance.
For day students, study rooms are made available in their assigned House, and on occasion a day student may spend the night in his or her House. Day students are also included in all House functions and are encouraged to take breakfast, lunch, and dinner with their Housemates.
We teach you to become self-aware, then other-aware, and ultimately fully aware of the larger world and your place in it. Every moment you spend as a boarding or day student – every class, every practice, every meal – is one step closer to becoming a deeper, fuller, better version of you. We call that being “otherwise.”
