V. Upper School Residential Life
A. Mission Statement & Philosophy
Wilbraham & Monson Academy students will develop social and personal skills while living in a diverse educational community.
For students who board, their dormitory serves as the nucleus for much of their lives at WMA. Their dorm parents are members of faculty and staff who support them, academically, socially and emotionally. The Residential Life staff, Deans, dorm parents and prefects work to plan and develop on-campus activities to build community among the boarding population, including Sunday Socials, birthday celebrations and Dorm Olympics.
Students also participate in “Tidy Titans,” a dorm chore program. Our cleaning service still cleans the dorms and, through Tidy Titans, students develop a sense of pride and respect for their communal living space, recycle and learn how to maintain a clean living space for all those in the dorm.
B. Residential Life Policies
