Boarding students are an integral part of our larger student body and experience the same structured school days, time for sports, service learning, arts and study hall, as our day students. Additionally, boarding students enjoy an active weekend program of recreational visits to the beautiful surrounding beaches, national parks and other attractions. All boarders live and study together and often form life-long friendships while boarding.

Life on Campus
|
|
Boarders live in a purpose-built residence hall located on campus, together with their dorm counselors, and the boarding residence manager. Several teachers and the school Director live in nearby on-campus housing. Our residence facilities have 18 dorm rooms with capacity for 60 boarding students, not including supervisors and residence manager facilities. Boarding students enjoy a living environment that features large rooms, wireless Internet access throughout, air conditioning, private bathrooms and a large recreational room with an entertainment system, ping-pong and a pool table, and outdoor sitting and bar-be-queue area.

Across from the residence hall is the on-campus housing complex. This is where the school director, teachers, and their families live. School-provided cleaning staff provides cleaning services to each boarder twice a week, subject to satisfactory behavioral and academic standards. Students are expected to do their own laundry in the designated laundry facilities.

Boarders enjoy most meals in the school cafeteria, located a short walk from the residence hall. Our meals are carefully designed to be healthy and tasty. We continually work on new recipes using fresh ingredients, and a mind for a balanced, healthy, and satisfying diet. Vegetarian and specialty meals are available for those who request them. Some meals are enjoyed off-campus, and Thursdays are “bar-be-queue” nights at the dorm grill!

During the school week, boarders follow a structured schedule that leads them through the day. Breakfast is served at 7:00am at the school cafeteria. Class starts at 7:30am and the standard school day ends at 2:30pm. Extracurricular activities take place between 2:30-4:00pm. From 4:00pm-6:00pm time is available

to pursue varsity sports, studies, or to take a quick trip to a close-by beach. Dinner is served at 6:00pm and ends at 6:30pm. Thereafter, boarders retired to the residence hall for scheduled study hall, "free"-time, followed by "lights out" in preparation for a new day.
Our students participate in several competitive sports, including basketball, soccer, volleyball and swimming. We have competed in the regional AASCA (Association of American Schools of Central America) tournaments for the past five years, which are held in a different Central American country every year. In addition to the traditional sports competitions, qualifying students attend the AASCA Leadership Conference, where CDSG’s best and brightest are put to the test!
