Boarding

Sedbergh School’s boarding life creates a positive and caring atmosphere for its students. They spend nine months of a year away from home and a positive dorm life is crucial to creating a unified and positive school. Living in close proximity with other young people from so many countries of the world brings an appreciation for other cultures, other ideas, other styles of life. As well it can forge very close friendships, friendships which often last a lifetime.
