Boarding lies at the heart of some of the world’s greatest schools. There is good reason for this: the opportunity to live in a learning community, to form lasting friendships, and to develop confidence and independence when away from home can be life changing. Whittle School & Studios is reinventing education for a new generation of boys and girls, including in our approach to residential life, which is experiential, vivid, fun, and caring. Our boarders build memories, learn from the vibrant city in which they live, and generate a sense of family that will stay with them for life. We invite you to join this truly global, residential Whittle community.
Residential Life
At the center of the Whittle boarding experience is a supportive community, where enduring bonds are forged between our students, faculty, and other members of our campus — while also creating connections throughout the city of Washington, DC.
Our state-of-the-art boarding facilities have been constructed using the same architectural philosophies that inspired our whole campus: an emphasis on abundant natural light, an understanding of the modern student, and a focus on spaces that build community and forge connections.
