Boarding Handbook 2020-21

Middle School Boarding Students

The Branksome Hall Boarding Program includes Middle School students in Grades 7–8. Although not yet Senior School students, these students are an integral part of Boarding Life and benefit from having senior students as friends and mentors. While most of the Boarding routines apply to students in all grades, we recognize that students in Grades 7–8 may have different academic demands and developmental needs than the senior students and will do our best to adjust accordingly. As we support them through this transitional time, some of their routines will vary from those of older students, including mandatory participation in school-wide community events, limited technology use, and chaperoned off-campus activities. Parents, guardians or Boarding staff must accompany any Grade 7–8 student to off-campus appointments and activities.
