Junior Boarding Schools Conference at Eaglebrook

8/28/2017

The Edward P. Evans Center at Eaglebrook was the site of a Residential Life conference for new teachers at Junior Boarding Schools last week. Junior Boarding Schools for students in middle school only, and there are 11 such schools in the country, with Eaglebrook being one of them. The daylong conference was packed with sessions designed to aid new teachers who are about to be living and working with their students.

Rich Fox, Eaglebrook’s Dean of Student Life, had this to say about the day, “This conference is designed for new or relatively inexperienced residential faculty as an opportunity to learn about what life is like with middle school boarding students. It specifically addresses how to support middle school students living away from home, as well as how new dorm parents can both thrive and survive considering the demands of caring for and living with junior school boarders.” All of the new faculty at the conference were eager to get back to their schools and begin the 2017-2018 school year.
