Burr and Burton Academy

Dormitories and Student Residences

Burr and Burton has five small dormitories, accommodating a total of 18 boys and 14 girls, all within walking distance of the school. The dorms are traditional New England family homes that provide a warm and comfortable environment. They have wireless internet connection, laundry facilities, TV, and telephone service. Rooms are mostly doubles, with some singles. Rooms are fully furnished, with linen and bathroom amenities. Dorms also include a computer area, living room, dining room, and kitchen. Students eat family-style with their dorm parents and roommates at dinner time. Lunch is provided at school.

Alternatively, international students can opt to live with a local host family.

• Students are placed with local families who are committed to sharing their lives with students from abroad. The families are interviewed and carefully selected.
• Students have their own rooms and participate in the family activities.
• Students have an excellent opportunity to learn more about US culture while living with a family, and to improve their English language skills.
• Families are located near the school or within driving distance, no more than 20 minutes from the school. Host families provide transportation.
