Campus Life
Clarke School's boarding program gives students from all over the world the chance to share the adventure of living together. Our dormitory offers a family-like setting where children live in small single-sex, mixed-age groups with caring house parents, graduate students, and residential faculty members. Our newly-renovated Living and Learning Center has comfortable dormitory rooms as well as the campus dining hall and living areas, equipped with computers, captioned television, games, and books. It's a hub of activity where students can get together to play or enjoy a quiet moment.Learning is part of our boarding program as well. Activities with our staff such as lobster fishing in Maine or spending a day at the beach in Connecticut give children opportunities for auditory, speech, and language development. Dorm activities help students learn about getting along with others and being a responsible part of a community of caring individuals. Residential students help plan and organize dormitory activities, such as special events and weekend field trips, and they are actively involved in self-governance. Our students develop live skills. They participate in chores and eat meals together family style. Each student has his or her own e-mail account and has access to computers in the dormitory, making it easy to communicate with their family.
