Residence Halls
Maharishi Academy recognizes that some students may be away from home for the first time and that they will come from varied backgrounds, cultures, and habits. Providing a home-away-from-home is essential for boarding school success. Therefore adult support and guidance is necessary not only in the classrooms, but in dorm life as well. Dormitory faculty fulfill this need.
Dormitory faculty monitor the comfort level of the student and nurture all levels of the students’ personal development. They have been carefully selected and trained to structure a home environment with 24-hour supervision and personal, one-on-one relationships with each student.
At the end of each quarter, the Dorm Faculty will review the student’s level of maturity, support of fellow students, teamwork, and social responsibility. Faculty meet with each student and review his level of progress in these areas and evaluate the student’s general overall development, i.e. “quality of life.” This rating will be incorporated into the overall evaluation for each student.
The goals of Dorm Faculty will be:
- To promote ideal student routine, including balanced rest with activity, good rest at night, regular meals, focus on homework, etc. A balanced routine promotes happiness, health, and stability;
- To help students live comfortably in a dorm environment;
- To conduct periodic room inspections and personal interviews;
- To encourage student growth toward successful social behavior;
- To create opportunities for students to develop leadership and become mature young men.
Our campus environment will be dynamic and filled with opportunities for fun. Every activity will be fueled by the energy and happiness that makes living and learning at Maharishi Academy so enjoyable. The friends, the sports, and activities can have a profound influence on your life.
The student body itself can be an endless source of fascinating conversations and enriching experiences. Simply being part of this group ensures that you will enjoy different cultures and perspectives, as well as deep common experiences during the course of your education.
