Boarding Student Fee: $65,700.00
In addition to tuition, the boarding cost also includes room and board, computer set-up, and email and internet access for each student, as well as transportation for weekend activities and a school yearbook. This tuition also includes all visits and stays in the School’s Health Center, all non-prescription medications, medical supplies, and laboratory services performed at the Health Center, and all consultations with the physician’s assistant, school physician, or athletic trainer.
Boarding school prepares students for life like no other educational experience. It’s a different kind of school environment that attracts a special kind of student—one who is looking for more unique opportunities, is eager to challenge themselves more academically, and wanting more time to discover all that they can be.
Westover School’s boarding experience cultivates a nurturing, inclusive environment that proves our students can be highly motivated, and genuinely nice. Our community is like family, a place where you know everyone’s name and hometown. Westover is a place where girls are comfortable taking risks, where they don’t worry about looking silly, and where they feel completely free to be themselves… and let others do the same.
So, if you’re ready for more, Westover is ready for you.
At 9 p.m., when study hall ends, many students head for their dorm parent's apartment where they might find a variety of their favorite freshly made snacks.
Students might join in a rousing game of Bananagrams, watch their favorite TV show, or talk about news at Westover and beyond. Some girls also use this time to make phone calls, shower, and get ready for bed. The time between study hall's end and in-room is a bustling time in the dorm.
At "in-room" time, dorm parents and proctors begin making rounds saying "goodnights" to each student.
Some nights there are corridor meetings where dorm parents and proctors meet with the girls on their corridor to plan dorm activities, talk about improving living conditions, or celebrating a girl's birthday. Working together to live happily in this community is always a priority.
Eight dorm parents, who are either single, married, or married with children, live in the dorm with the students. The work the dorm parents do in the dorm is the largest part of their work at Westover. Heather Capitanio is the Director of Residential.
