Boarding

Our boarding program offers 9th-12th grade students an exciting, challenging, and safe place to grow. Students interact with people from all over the world, learn to live in community, and engage in important journeys of self-discovery. Our dorm faculty are committed to cultivating a program that nurtures our enthusiastic learners. Through the boarding experience, students gain skills that will enable them to achieve success at OES, in college, and in life.

A Global Community

The boarding community is a closely knit family of students and “dorm parents”. Students arrive at OES from across the nation and around the world, each offering their unique culture and perspectives. Through communication, support, and understanding, dorm parents help students realize the value of living in a diverse community.

Lifelong friendships

Students will share a great part of their formative years here. Our small size allows for the formation of lifelong friendships with fellow “dormies” and with day students. Through weekend activities open to all students, the Backyard Exchange Program, and the annual Retreat of Fun, friendships are formed and students grow in their global competence.

Community Night

Once a week, the community gathers for a “family dinner”, where students sit in family groups. Dinner is an opportunity for the students and dorm parents to connect through thoughtful conversations. Following family dinner is a dorm student gathering, where announcements and celebrations are shared.
