Summer Boarding

Each session balances focused coursework with relaxation and time at the beach, cultural events, and shopping. Studying at Ross while also exploring the Hamptons and surrounding areas is a fantastic and fulfilling way for students to make friends from around the world while advancing their skills.

Boarding Houses

Ross boarding houses are spacious, beautiful, and luxurious Hamptons-style homes. Houses are designed to make students feel at home, with spacious bedrooms, private bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, study rooms, and laundry facilities. Homes are air-conditioned, and have swimming pools available for students’ entertainment.

Each boarding house is overseen by house parents who are responsible for students’ safety and well-being and create a safe, welcoming, family-style living environment. House parents have extensive experience with teenagers and establish supportive relationships with students in their “home away from home.” They also connect with students’ parents to keep them apprised of their children’s well-being.

Facilities

Summer Boarding students enjoy a multitude of world-class facilities on the Ross School campus. Professional tennis courts, a weight room, and playing fields appeal to athletes, while extensive libraries, stunning architecture, and ubiquitous artwork nurture the aesthetic senses. STEM students carry out their work in specialized, state-of-the-art laboratories, and students pursuing visual and performing arts have access to a variety of studios with technical equipment. All buildings are air-conditioned, providing a welcome respite from the warmth of summer.

Dining

Summer Boarding students are served breakfast, lunch, and dinner from the exemplary Ross Café. Meals are nutritious and flavorful, and are prepared using fresh, regional, organic ingredients. Meals include vegetarian options, and accommodations for other dietary requirements are available as well. On weekends, students enjoy the many culinary delights of the Hamptons, and there are frequent backyard barbecues, picnics on the beach, and other culinary festivities.
