What You Will Be Doing:
Our primary goal: ensuring that our students' time here is not only safe but also enriching and enjoyable. First and foremost, it is crucial that we keep our dorms safe and secure. This means regularly checking for any potential hazards, conducting safety drills, and ensuring that all safety protocols are followed diligently. A secure environment is the foundation of a positive boarding experience. Additionally, organizing fun after-school and weekend activities is a fantastic way to engage our students. These activities provide them with opportunities to unwind, socialize, and develop new skills. Whether it's sports, arts and crafts, or cultural outings, let's get creative and offer a variety of options to cater to different interests. Supporting students with their transportation and daily needs is another important aspect. Our goal is to make their day-to-day lives as smooth and stress-free as possible. We also need to help students adjust to boarding life. For many, this is their first time away from home, and it can be challenging. Offering guidance, being approachable, and fostering a supportive community can make a significant difference in their adjustment process. Lastly, maintaining our recreation equipment and campus areas is essential. Regular maintenance ensures that our facilities are safe and enjoyable for everyone. Together, we can create a remarkable boarding school experience for our students.

One of the highlights of our team is the low turnover rate, which speaks volumes about the positive and supportive work environment we have cultivated here. Another perk to consider is the generous time off. You'll enjoy summers off from early May through mid-August, allowing for plenty of rest and relaxation. Plus, we offer a three-week Christmas vacation, giving you ample time to spend with your loved ones during the holiday season.
The Working Environment You Can Expect:This is an exciting opportunity to join our close-knit team, where we highly value a strong attitude of service, collaborative relationships, and exceptional teamwork. Our primary focus is on delivering a world-class educational experience for a diverse group of students on our residential high school campus. As part of our team, you will have the chance to make a meaningful impact on their lives and contribute to their academic and personal growth.
