Whether you are a boarding or day student, you will feel at home at Hoosac. Students quickly bond over common experiences of sharing meals, attending classes, participating in sports and the arts and getting involved in community service.
A great majority of our students currently board at our school. As shown in the About and Admissions pages, these students come from a variety of countries around the world. Along with our international students, our boarding program throughout the years has housed students from all over New England including nearby Westchester County, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
Extracurricular activities are designed to meet the varied interests of the School's diverse student body. Qualified students nominated by classmates serve as prefects and proctors. These student leaders maintain order in the dorms, monitor and correct student behavior as needed and oversee the work job program. All students are assigned routine tasks involved with the upkeep of the buildings and grounds and the general operation of the School.
On weekends, students have the opportunity to stay on campus for dances or faculty open-house, or they can leave campus on school trips to NYC, Boston, or local towns for cultural events such as lectures, concerts, and plays. In the winter, there are trips to local ski slopes, rollerblade and ice skating rinks, bowling alleys, and every weekend there are trips to the movies as well as shopping excursions.
