Life in Residence
Residence Life: Your Home Away From Home
Welcome to Residence Life at Nancy Campbell Academy! Our residence is a short 20-minute walk or an easy bus ride from school, offering a true ‘home away from home’ where you’ll build deep friendships, learn independence, and be part of a supportive ‘residence family.’ Our program is designed to be a safe, structured, and joyful home where you can thrive both academically and personally.
Our Vision for Residence Life
Our residence is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a key part of your educational journey. Our vision is to create an environment where you can develop moral and intellectual excellence and a commitment to service to others. Through a daily process of action, reflection, and consultation, you’ll learn to solve problems, support your peers, and contribute to a positive and unified community.
A Day in the Life
A typical weekday in residence is structured to support your success and well-being.
Mornings
Your day begins around 6:00 a.m., getting ready in your private room before catching the bus to the main school building for breakfast and a full day of classes.
Evenings:
After your classes and after-school programs, the residence opens at 4:00 p.m. for you to return and unwind.
Dinner is served at the residence, where you’ll eat with your ‘residence family’ before the evening’s activities begin.
The Common Room is open for socializing and games, followed by a quiet
Study Hour
From 8:00 to 9:00 p.m., with Residential Advisors (RAs) available to offer support.
The evening ends with snacks and community time before grade-level ‘lights out,’ when students turn in their electronic devices on school nights (Sunday through Thursday) to ensure they are well-rested for the next day.
Weekends & Activities
Weekends have a more relaxed schedule, with brunch served at 11:00 a.m.. Our RAs organize regular activities, from outings and sports to arts and crafts in the Common Room, so there are always fun opportunities to build friendships and enjoy your time off.
