Boarding and Residential Life

The students’ rooms are set up similar to college dormitories and each room has enough space for 2 students with a bunk bed, two desks, and two dressers. Some single rooms are available for an additional charge.

  • Each morning starts with a fresh breakfast that is served from 7:00 to 9:00 am.

  • Academic classes for some begin at 7:25 am, for others at 8:10 am.

  • Ballet and music classes begin from 10:15 am for Middle School students, and from 1:30 pm for High School students.

  • During the week Thursday or Friday, we have our Walmart trips where students can go and buy their snacks and other materials.

On the weekend we have our traditional “Red Code Trip” where the students 13 years old or younger can go to visit some specific places like museums, malls, and some other stores, together with an RA who will drive and chaperone them all the time until they come back to the academy.

Sundays are special days because most students wake up a little late to join the brunch from 11:00 - 1:00 pm. After this many prepare to explore the city with the RAs who can drive them to and from the metro. Students should always respect the color code for each age group on the guidelines for going out on trips from the building. The codes and guidelines are to reduce risks and to ensure the safety of all students.
