St. Anne’s-Belfield School offers 7-day boarding for students in Grades 9 - 12. For the current school year, 86 boarders have joined us from Canada, China, Kenya, Korea, United States, and Vietnam.
Our boarding program is integral to the School’s ability to provide a world-class education to all students, rich with a diversity of culture, thought, interests, experiences, and goals.
The program ensures that classroom experiences and extracurricular opportunities foster integration between our day and boarding students, and that Upper School faculty members routinely join them for dinner, study sessions, and weekend activities. Our Residential Life staff is exclusively made up of faculty members at the School, all of whom live on dorm either in dormitories or in homes adjacent to the Greenway Rise Campus, and are available to engage in personal chats and provide the occasional treat. Boarding residences are located in the midst of our Greenway Rise Campus, with students living in Walker House and Lee-DuVal Hall. Rooms are arranged in suites, and students share a common dining room and lounge. Meals are prepared on site by our talented and beloved Dining Services staff.
From our Ivy Road location, boarding students are afforded all of the opportunities of being part of the Charlottesville community. The University of Virginia is within walking distance of our campus, offering a plethora of cultural events, world renowned speakers, and collegiate athletics. Organized weekend activities offer our students the best of our region as well, including cultural trips to Richmond, the state capital, and Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital, hiking and biking in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains, and enjoying concerts, bowling, ice skating, and more. We also facilitate a Host Family Program that matches boarding students with day student families, and sees them welcomed into homes on a regular basis for meals, celebrations, holidays, and the occasional overnight visit.
Residential life at St. Anne’s-Belfield School offers students a blend of studying, relaxing, playing, and enjoying outings and activities with friends and faculty. We create a meaningful family atmosphere not only for our boarding students, but for all who interact with them. In doing so, our boarding students are prepared for future success by developing values of responsibility, independence, resilience, and community, and laying the foundations for meaningful and lifelong friendships.
Boarding students at St. Anne’s-Belfield School enjoy the best of both worlds: they learn the independence of living away from home, while having the adult support, caring community, superb facilities, and phenomenal offerings of a top-notch urban day school.
Enrollment in our boarding program is intentionally limited to allow us to maintain a sense of family and community. The health, safety, and well-being of each boarding student are our primary concerns at all times; beyond that we deliberately teach the habits of generosity, hard work in and out of the classroom, and independence.
Residential life at St. Anne’s-Belfield School is a challenging and rewarding experience. Students who graduate from this program leave the School with a first-class education, lifelong friendships, and the support of an entire community of students, families, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Students are housed in Walker House and Lee-DuVal Hall on our Greenway Rise Campus. A maximum of three students may share a room, and bathrooms are shared with next-door neighbors. Students are matched in rooms based on gender, age, and interests, and life with roommates allows students ample opportunity for immense personal growth. Dorm rooms are fully equipped with Internet access, and Wi-Fi is available campus-wide. Residential Life staff live throughout the dormitory buildings and in homes adjacent to the campus.
While every dorm room is furnished with the basics, students quickly decorate their rooms to reflect their own personalities, cultures, and styles. Shared laundry facilities are available for student use, and students contribute to the upkeep of their rooms and common spaces through daily and weekly times dedicated to tidying up.
Boarding students have shared common spaces where they can relax and enjoy the camaraderie of residential life. Widescreen televisions, a ping-pong table, and a piano are a few of the amenities in the common spaces. Students have access to the Student Activity Center, which includes a gym and weight room, as well as to the Lee-Duval Dining Hall should they like a quick snack or cup of tea. Our Dining Services staff prepares all meals on-campus, three meals per day on weekdays and brunch and dinner on weekends, and students may join in food preparation if they so desire. Birthdays (and half birthdays, for those with birthdays in the summer) are celebrated during dinner with the students selecting their birthday meals and desserts. Both boarding students and faculty help keep the dining areas clean.
Other facilities available to all Upper School students include state-of-the-art music and art studios, laboratories, a newly-renovated Dining Hall and Student Commons, a black box theatre, gymnasiums, weight training facilities, softball and baseball fields, tennis courts, squash courts, and grass and turf fields.
