Boarding

A group of young people pose for a photo in front of a wooden fence and lush greenery.

Our boarding program for domestic and international students in grades 9 to 12 offers an exciting, challenging, and safe way for young people to learn and grow away from home. Students interact with people from all over the world, learn to live in community, and engage in important journeys of self-discovery. Our dorm faculty are committed to cultivating a program that nurtures curious and enthusiastic learners. Through the boarding experience, students gain skills that will enable them to achieve success at OES, in college, and in life.

We invite you to begin your journey with us by exploring what makes the OES boarding program unique!
