Your Home at Calverton
A global community. A personal experience. A place to belong.
Calverton’s five-day and seven-day residential programs offer students the opportunity to live, learn, and grow within a close-knit community on our beautiful 153-acre campus.
Here, students are known personally, supported by caring adults, challenged academically, and encouraged to become confident, independent young adults.
WHY BOARD AT CALVERTON?
Small by Design. Global by Experience.
KNOWN & SUPPORTED
Our intentionally small residential community means students develop meaningful relationships with House Parents, faculty, advisors, and friends.
CHALLENGED & PREPARED
Students experience Calverton’s rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, including opportunities through the International Baccalaureate Programme.
CONNECTED TO THE WORLD
Students build friendships across cultures while taking advantage of Calverton’s proximity to Washington, D.C., Annapolis, Baltimore, and the broader Mid-Atlantic region.
A Home Away From Home
Residential students live in Calverton’s One World Residential Village, right on campus.
Rather than a traditional dormitory environment, students live in comfortable residences with House Parents who provide guidance, structure, and support.
Shared meals, evening activities, study time, celebrations, and everyday moments together create the feeling of a true residential community.

Life Beyond the School Day
There is more to boarding at Calverton than where you live.
After classes, residential students become part of everything happening on campus—athletics, arts, clubs, service, school traditions, and time with friends.
On weekends, the experience extends beyond campus with cultural, recreational, and social opportunities throughout the region.

Academics with Purpose
Residential students are fully immersed in the Calverton academic experience.
Small classes and close relationships with teachers create an environment where students are encouraged to ask questions, take intellectual risks, and grow as independent thinkers.
Calverton’s International Baccalaureate Programme provides an additional opportunity for Upper School students seeking a globally focused and academically challenging experience.

Preparing for College—and Life
College preparation at Calverton is personal.
Beginning early in Upper School, students work with counselors and advisors to explore their interests, identify colleges and universities that fit their goals, and navigate the application process.
For residential students, that preparation extends beyond academics. Living away from home helps students develop independence, confidence, responsibility, self-advocacy, and the ability to live and learn alongside people from different backgrounds.
