Students are assigned to dorms based on age, developmental maturity and peer group fit. Each dorm is led by a milieu director and supported by a core team of residential staff. Milieu directors oversee daily structure, routines, and skill development, and work closely with clinicians to ensure treatment plans are implemented consistently throughout the residential setting.
Dorms include common areas, a small kitchen, a dining area and double bedrooms. Rooms are furnished with twin beds, desks, chairs and closet organizers. Students are encouraged to personalize their space with photos and decorations from home.
Breakfast and lunch are served in the campus dining hall. Dinner is shared family style, either in the dorm or the dining hall, providing time for students and staff to connect and reflect on the day.
Between intramural athletic teams, arts, vocational opportunities, volunteer work and off-campus trips, our students are actively engaged after school and on weekends. When the school day ends, one might find students canoeing in the summer, snowboarding at a nearby ski slope in the winter, or fishing year-round, Other popular activities include playing disc golf or pickleball, going on photography hikes, playing Magic: The Gathering or Dungeons and Dragons, working on the literary magazine, scuba diving, or volunteering at a local animal shelter.
Students also have opportunities to build real-world skills through on-campus vocational experiences, such as jobs in the dining hall or supporting basic campus upkeep. When available, some students may also participate in community-based volunteering or job placements. Our activities reflect current student (and staff) interests and passions, so offerings are always evolving.

Weekends remain highly structured and supervised, but also provide the opportunity to take longer trips around the New England area. Favorite spots include local hikes, ceramics studios, seasonal fairs, visiting Boston, shopping at the local mall, and catching a movie. New opportunities occur each weekend as the interests of our students and staff emerge and evolve.
