5-Day Boarding AT STONELEIGH-BURNHAM
Confident and Engaged Effective Leaders Communicate with Authenticity The Stoneleigh-Burnham School 5-day boarding program provides an excellent opportunity for students to be fully engaged with the school community while also gaining the confidence that helps them prepare for what comes next. Our 5-day boarding students grow personally, socially, and academically from the experience of living five days a week away from family. At the same time, the time spent living on campus also allows students to become fully engaged in the athletic, academic, artistic, and social activities that make up residential life each week. We understand that there are students who would thrive immersed in our rigorous curriculum, inclusive community, and transformational environment and who live outside of a commutable radius. Some families want their students to benefit from a boarding experience while also living at home on the weekends. This offering is for any of these families.
The Financial Decision For many families, the financial decision to send their student to boarding school is difficult. The StoneleighBurnham 5-day boarding program can offer additional savings while still providing the benefits of confidence and engagement that comes from a partial boarding experience. For the 2022-2023 school year, the 5-day boarding tuition is $47,150.
Time is Precious Time with family. Time on campus. At Stoneleigh-Burnham School, we recognize that time is a precious resource for students and families. Many busy families find value in the predictability of eliminating the morning and evening commute between home, school, and afternoon sports, and evening activities. We have designed our 5-day boarding program for families living within a roughly 90-minute drive to campus. For some families living within that 90-minute window, 5-day boarding is the perfect way to manage the precious mix of time spent living on campus and time spent with family.
