Home Away From Home
The high school Residence Hall boarding provides an opportunity for students to grow socially and spiritually in a community where they care for themselves and each other. In addition to benefiting students who participate in the residence hall program, the program enriches the entire school with an international perspective.
Residence Halls
Equipped with two on-campus dormitories, Graybill Hall and Millstream Hall, the boarding program offers a great opportunity for students to prepare for the increased independence and responsibility of college life, and to share their own unique background and experiences.
The Residence Hall boarding program a “home away from home” for many students who otherwise would not have been able to attend. Many students comment that the Residence Hall boarding program was among the most significant parts of their education.
Approximately 60 students currently live in the residence halls on the Lancaster Campus. They are a diverse group of students from other parts of Pennsylvania and from other countries such as China, Ethiopia, Korea, Spain and Cameroon.
Four-night and Seven-day Programs
The four-night residence hall program is for those who can spend weekends off-campus with their family or a host family. Room and board are provided during the school week, from Monday after school to Friday at 5 pm. International students may choose this option if they have a guardian in the area or if an agency is arranging for a weekend homestay.
The seven-day residence hall boarding program includes room and board for weekends for those that are from more distant locations. Students are provided with meals and accommodations full time during the school year. The seven-day program does close for Christmas and Summer breaks.
Each of the halls has adults serving as resident advisors. A “dorm council” allows residential students to be part of creating a community that transforms lives..
