Meeting the Intellectual, Emotional and Social Needs of Our Students
The staff and faculty members of Auldern Academy understand that caring relationships have the power to educate and heal.
The intimate, nurturing environment of our all girls boarding school is designed to foster such relationships, where students quickly build healthy, lasting friendships with each other and develop supportive connections with faculty and staff members. The result is a warm, emotionally safe school environment where students meet with confidence the challenges of rigorous academics and family relationships.
Our student program consists of three overlapping components, the Academic Program, the Counseling Services Program, and the Student Life Program. This tripartite approach reflects our commitment to meeting the needs of the whole student, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
Academic Program
It is the goal of our Academic Program to provide students with an education that prepares them for complex college and workplace competencies. The faculty of Auldern Academy strives to prepare students for these challenges through small classes, a mix of traditional and progressive approaches and intensive teacher support and coaching.
Counseling Services Program
By providing an integrated vision of our students’ goals and progress, the Counseling Services Department fosters accountability and encourages students to remain focused on critical life goals. Here students learn to balance personal priorities with community priorities. This balance is essential to their future success in college and beyond.
Student Life Program
The mission of the Student Life Department at Auldern Academy is to prepare students for the social and independent-living challenges of college life. For many college freshmen the day to day social and environmental challenges, rather than academic challenges, present the greatest obstacle to success. The Student Life Department challenges students to balance the responsibilities of independence with those of community membership.
