Boarding School Schedule

Students seemed exhausted this morning, as they are adjusting to a very full schedule. Their free time is limited, something most of them are not used to. Here's a run-down of what their day looks like:

7:00-7:45 Breakfast

8:00-12:35 Classes (All students are scheduled for 6 classes per day, in 40 minute slots with a 5 minute break between each - there is one 15 minute break in the middle of the morning. Students are signed up for Japanese or European Studies, Drama, Japanese Language x2, as well as a Graphic Design, Studio Art, or Creative Writing.)

12:35-1:15 Lunch

(Wed) 1:25-1:40 Family Time 

(Mon/Tues/Thurs) 2:00-4:00 Activities (2 of these days with one afternoon off - Students have signed up for activities like hiking, swimming, etc.)

(Fri) 2:15-2:45 Student Assembly

5:45-6:30 Dinner

7:00-9:00 Study Hall in their respective dorms

10:00-10:30 In-room time

10:30 Lights out

For meal times, food has been excellent. Here's a snapshot!

On Monday night, the school put on a welcome BBQ, with BBQ shrimp, pork, and chicken. It tasted excellent!

The students also participated in the Dorm Orientation alongside the new grade 10 students that arrived from Japan on Sunday night. Here's the girls playing a version of Hot Potato. Chantal almost won!

Here's also a couple photos from a Japanese studies class this morning. The class is being taught by Terri, who is our main school staff host during our time here. She looks after the exchange students and their programs primarily. 

Good luck getting your son/daughter to turn their lights out at 10:30pm when they get home!!
