Appointments Off-Campus

When a boarding student needs to see a specialist or other off-campus medical provider for non-emergent appointments, the nursing staff, in coordination with designated drivers, will assume responsibility to maintain and organize any outside appointments. Please understand that some services may not be covered by medical insurance, so may incur additional charges to your child’s account.
