A Home Away From Home
Life in the boarding hall is a priceless opportunity for you to experience dynamic cultural exchange, make memories in Los Angeles, and develop life-long friendships with young women from across the globe.
Residential Life Curriculum
The Residential Life Curriculum seeks to foster a sense of belonging and empowerment in our students. Based on research and best practices, the curriculum has been designed to teach social emotional skills, character, life skills, outdoor skills, and wellness. Our girls will learn skills today that translate to the real world. From learning about self-management to healthy relationships to compromise, to managing a budget, cooking a meal, or changing a tire, the students will benefit from a holistic education that transcends the confines of the classroom. Residential Life dorm parents, wellness teachers, counselors, parents, school staff and outside experts will deliver a robust program in the evenings and weekends. Our residential life curriculum is designed to nurture the lives of our students, with an additional focus on four key areas: community, spirituality, education and awareness, and leadership.
