Washington Academy’s Residential Life Curriculum is a deliberate plan and evaluation of the lessons that a boarding program aspires to teach through the experiences of living together in an educational setting. Learning is not limited to academics, but includes learning that takes place after class, in the dorm, on the athletic fields, and during play and leisure.

WA’s Residential Life Curriculum creates a safe, healthy, cooperative, comfortable, educational experience that helps each student learn to:

•   Manage his or her own time and studies
•   Live respectfully and responsibly with others
