Penguin Hall’s 5-day and 7-day boarding programs offer students the chance to live independently alongside their peers in a structured, supportive environment that fosters personal responsibility. These programs help students develop independence and gain valuable dorm life experience before college.
Each evening includes supervised study hours and a set curfew to ensure a balance between academics and personal time. During free hours, residents can access various campus facilities. Meals include daily breakfasts and lunches, along with family-style dinners hosted by boarding faculty. Planned group activities encourage bonding among residents, and 7-day boarders enjoy exciting cultural trips, activities, and events on weekends.
Boarding at APH also helps students enjoy more fully the extracurricular life of the school. It challenges student residents to grow and thrive as productive, positive members of a special family within the Penguin Hall community.
All rooms are private with shared bathrooms, and students have access to a common lounge area equipped with a TV, kitchenette, microwave, and refrigerator.
The additional annual cost for the 2025-2026 school year is $10,300 for single-room, five-day boarding, and $15,000 for seven-day boarding. We encourage interested families to reach out as soon as possible, as space is limited.
5-Day Boarding: A single room with three meals per day (2 meals on Fridays) is $10,300 per year.
7-Day Boarding: A single room with three meals per day is $15,000 per year.
