The BSS Boarding program provides a unique opportunity for students to flourish in a supportive environment.
Living right on campus, boarders are immersed in a vibrant community that encourages transformative personal and academic growth. Our vision is to foster a culture of care and empowerment to support the whole student experience.
We are proud of our program, but we’re not finished. BSS has invested in Boarding with the opening of the new Commons space, a community area where boarders can connect, relax, learn and grow in their home away from home. And this is just the beginning. We are asking you to partner with us to elevate the Boarding experience for every student.

Why Support Boarding?
Facility Upgrades
Investing in capital improvements creates a comfortable environment for Boarding students. Upgraded facilities enhance the living and learning experience, and foster connectedness, belonging, individual growth and accessibility.
Scholarships and Financial Assistance
Transformative education flourishes in a diverse environment made up of people from different racial, ethnic, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. Financial assistance is essential to ensure a BSS Boarding education is accessible to a wide range of students. Academic, merit-based scholarships also provide life-changing opportunities for students with unique abilities.
Enhanced Programming
BSS Boarding provides students with opportunities to explore their interests, develop life skills and broaden their perspectives. Our enhanced Boarding programming encompasses after-school and weekend activities tailored to the interests, learning needs and well-being of our boarders.
With almost 20 percent of BSS Boarding students receiving financial assistance, our priority is ensuring equitable access to programming that elevates the Boarding experience for every student.

-Abinaya Thamphirasan, Dean of Boarding
“Our Boarding program fosters a close-knit community that nurtures growth, resilience and lifelong friendships. We empower students to embrace independence, develop self-discipline and expand their horizons. By living and learning together, boarders grow as people, create memories and have each other's backs through it all."
