Rectory School

Whether it's more academic support or greater academic enrichment, a broader variety of arts or athletics, you are looking for something more for your child than what your local schools are able to offer. Also, as our world becomes smaller, an emphasis on cultural awareness and diversity becomes increasingly important. Boarding school provides:

• STRUCTURE: Evening and weekend study halls teach time-management and help create good study habits. Personal technology limits increase the likelihood of success and build an appropriate respect for rules.
• COMMUNITY: Being a member of a large, close-knit community lends itself to increased leadership skills, empathy, and understanding of one's self and those around them.
• CULTURE: Friendships with students from around the world provides opportunities to embrace a culture that is incredibly diverse at such a young age.
• FRIENDSHIPS: Make lifelong friends from around the world.
• INDEPENDENCE: Learn to be independent earlier in life and build a foundation for future success.

Why Boarding at Rectory

"Rectory is relationships," and some of the most important relationships are created within the framework of the residential community. The boarding environment simulates a home away from home and the dormitory parents offer support and guidance to the students as they navigate through their middle school years. At Rectory, every student forms connections to adults in the community. These relationships form naturally as the faculty spend the majority of their time with the students. Every morning, each student awakens to a knock on the door and a cheerful "good morning" and every evening the students go to bed with a caring, "good night." The time in between is filled with academics, delicious food, athletics, and fun activities. The partnership between parents and dormitory parents is very important as, hand-in-hand, they create the positive residential experience for our boarding students.
