Seven-Day Boarding Program
The Seven-Day Boarding Program has as its goals, in addition to the goals of the regular boarding program:
• To provide opportunities for Seven-Day Boarders to learn and be exposed to different aspects of an American and English speaking culture;
• To provide a more relaxed-home environment on the weekend;
• To extend opportunities to develop boarders into young men with Christian morals and principles;
Weekend Activities
Weekends are often times for our Seven-Day Boarders to relax and there are outstanding opportunities to develop their American experience. Besides taking courses in ESL and English at St. Mary's Prep and being exposed to several aspects of an English speaking culture on campus, Seven-Day Boarders will be required to attend an “outing” at least once a month to various events. The purpose of these outings will be to provide opportunities for our boarders to experience and learn more about the culture in the U.S. Some of these outings may include classical concerts, plays, professional sporting events, ski trips, camping trips, visits to historical, art, and other cultural museums. Seven-Day Boarders from the US are expected to participate in these activities. Seven-Day Boarders that make arrangements to go home to their guardians' over the weekend may be excused. When an outing is planned, Seven-Day Boarders that want to be excused must give at least a one-week notice so proper arrangements can be made regarding tickets, etc. Students should expect to pay for their own expenses.
Intramural Sports
Intramural sports are a great way for your students to make friends, build his own character and remain physically fit, if he doesn't have a gym class. Our intramural sports are flag football, 3 on 3 basketball league and the annual ping pong tournament. We do provide time for students to work out in the dorm recreation room.
