Boarding Life
Residential life continues the structured environment. “Quiet Time” each night in the dormitories is monitored and enforced so students can study . Behavior is observed consistently with the goal of providing a safe and respectful environment in which students can be successful. “Lights Out” is a 9pm, helping students develop habits that balance work and rest, relaxation and concentration. Residential Life at Royal school offers many programs that help students fulfill their potential beyond the academic setting. Our dedicated and experienced staff live among the students in dormitory apartments and provide supervision and counsel in the after-school hours. Our goal is to provide the requisite structure and support for the social needs of all of our students. Royal school operates two traditional-style dormitories that house approximately 60 boarding students.
Weekend Life
Weekend life in a rural setting has its own pace and character. Students relax in the dorms, engage in a host of on-campus activities such as football, volleyball, tournaments, participate in a myriad of home athletic events, etc. Children also engage in a coding classes and music classes.
On Sunday the pace is subdued with church attendance in the morning and afternoon rest and relaxation in preparation for the new academic week
Church
Students are required to attend worship on Sundays. Additional emphasis on spiritual growth and maturity is encouraged through devotions provided by the school’s chaplain, students, and faculty during daily homeroom assembly
Dining Services
There is a varied six-week cycle of menus designed by the school’s chef registered dietitian. Breakfast, lunches, and dinners with a variety of proteins and vitamins are served daily.
Why Choose Royal Boarding School?
Fewer Distractions
Students in boarding schools have more time and energy to focus on their academic studies because distractions are more limited. There’s still plenty of time for entertainment activities like television, video games, and hanging out with friends, but they’re provided in a structured manner so that they don’t interfere with schoolwork.
Boarding school helps young adults become more independent and resilient, and helps them build strong relational skills on a path to personal growth. However, moving from home to a boarding school can be a big transition. It comes with lots of questions: How will you stay in contact? Will students feel isolated? How will you know if this is the right decision? We believe boarding school is the absolute best environment for many students, and our families are believers, too. Here’s why our boarding school may be the right choice for you and yours.
Personal Attention to Academics
On average, Royal school enrolls 40 students per school year. This allows us to keep class sizes small (about 15 per class), which gives us the chance to nurture individual talents and interests and provide immediate assistance to those who need it. We have designated study times where students can get extra tutoring in subjects they’re struggling with as well as more in-depth instruction from faculty for subjects in which they excel and are eager to learn more.
Families Maintain a Strong Presence
Our goal is to make sure both students and parents are comfortable in our boarding environment. Parents have a consistent and direct line of communication with faculty, who are diligent about answering questions and providing assurance of students’ care. The residential life staff and administrators also help facilitate regular communication and give parents insight into their student’s life beyond the classroom. We also encourage family members to join our parent’s association, where you can get more involved in school activities.
A stronger sense of Community
Every boarding school student is encouraged to grow not just academically but also socially. To build a stronger sense of community, we hold socials outside of class where students interact, make friends, and develop key interpersonal skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. We emphasize the importance of diversity, sensitivity, and awareness of others.
