Dorm Life at Oxford Academy - Building Community

As a family-style boarding school, Oxford provides a second home for our borders. Surrounded by faculty families who live in and supervise the dorms, the boys feel safe and open to learning how to live independently. With their caring guidance, the students learn to respect themselves and their dorm mates while learning to manage their time and study effectively during the evening study hall.

This close interaction between students and teachers outside the classroom allows faculty to be more aware of each student’s academic and personal goals, strengths and weaknesses. Dorm parents encourage socialization activities, offering casual gatherings and meetings. By establishing positive relationships with his or her students, a dorm parent also provides support when students need advice on personal or academic matters.
