A Day in the Life of a Non-boarding Cadet

Do you live locally? If so, our program for day cadets is perfect for families that reside locally and prefer to have their sons live at home. The benefits of the non-residential/day program carry many of the same advantages as the residential/boarding program. These include, but are not limited to:

• Individualized teacher support after school
• Academic counseling to keep homework on track
• Leadership opportunities
• Involvement in the athletic program
• College counseling to prepare for the SAT and college applications

All cadets follow a structured daily schedule, with little time for distractions. Cadets learn how to improve their study skills, prepare for college, and enjoy extracurricular activities. Lunch is included in the tuition for a non-residential/day program cadet and each cadet is assigned a private locker. Non-boarding cadets are required to leave campus by 5:00 p.m., after completing the required programs. Non-boarding cadets may sign up for weekend excursions.
