Academics

At EISB, we feel that boarding school is an ideal way for students to optimize both their academic learning and their social development. Maturity, confidence, lifelong friendships and an understanding of others are all the outgrowth of the boarding school experience. Our boarding students live in safe, comfortable, single-gender dorms with round-the-clock supervision by faculty members who live in their own apartments located in the various student “houses.” Single women faculty live in the girls’ dorms and usually male faculty or families live in the boys’ dorms. Girls are not permitted to enter the boys’ dorms and boys are not permitted to enter the girls’ dorms.

Students have constant and continuous access to faculty who – in addition to being teachers – are supervisors, coaches, mentors and counselors. Faculty members eat together with students in the Dining Hall and participate with them in athletic and cultural activities in the afternoons. Parents of students entrusted to the care of EISB can rest assured that their children are living in a safe and healthy family environment.
