Developing Life Skills for Future Success
As a parent, you’re seeking the right environment for your child to develop into an independent, capable, and globally-minded young adult. Even high-achieving students can lack the structure, accountability, and real-world preparation they need to truly thrive. That’s where Bodwell’s Boarding Program stands apart. We provide an immersive, full-time learning environment built to unleash personal growth. With round-the-clock guidance from experienced educators and mentors, our students develop the habits, mindset, and resilience that top universities—and future careers—demand.
Through structured routines, diverse peer connections, and consistent expectations, students gain the maturity to make thoughtful decisions. We consistently hear from universities, including from the University of Toronto, that our students are more prepared to succeed thanks to their academic and boarding experiences at Bodwell.
Your New Community.
Bodwell students find a welcoming environment built to take care of their needs, while fostering the skills needed for success in later life. Through the efforts of our youth advisors, we focus on youth development, with a program focused on boarders’ self-improvement.
Our boarding experience focuses on active learning beyond the classroom. We keep students engaged through out-of-school activities, and provide a structured routine that helps students develop strong habits for sustainable lifelong success.
Boarding Halls & Advisors
Each boarding student belongs to either a junior or senior hall. Every hall is a tight-knit community that shares common space, support, and weekly activities. Each Bodwell Hall has around 45 boarders, managed by 2 advisors. Our staff work to ensure that every student finds belonging, engagement, and inclusion through their Hall community.
Our advisors come from a wide range of professional and cultural backgrounds and all share a strong passion for youth development. Many have lived or worked abroad and bring valuable experience working with diverse populations. This allows them to connect with our boarders’ perspectives and provide relevant, empathetic, and constructive support.
Developing Life Skills
Our boarding advisors work closely with students throughout their journey at Bodwell, to develop a skillset for success. This is focused on three key areas of life skills:
-
Self-care
-
Leadership
-
Interpersonal Skills
