What's a student's day look like?
Weekend + Day Enrichment Activities
Happy Friday! Our location has a lot to offer! Enjoy shopping in Portland or Boston, visiting North Conway outlets, hiking, biking, rock climbing, skiing, and snow sports. Our 105-acre campus has beautiful trails, an outdoor climbing wall, and a low ropes course.
All boarding students join our afternoon activities from Monday to Thursday, 3:15 pm to 5:00 pm. We tailor our weekly activities to student interests, from paddling down the Saco River to cooking lessons or shopping trips to North Conway.
Dorm Rooms
The majority of our resident students live in double rooms with a roommate. Nevertheless, a few single rooms and some triples are available on campus. Each of our five dormitories and three houses has unique features based on size, age, and the dorm parents residing there. Each dorm room has a single bed/bunkbed, a desk, a dresser, and a closet for hanging clothes.
Student Dorm Leaders
Student dorm leaders help to build community in the dorms, plan fun activities, and help facilitate regular dorm meetings. These leaders serve as liaisons between their peers and dorm parents.
Dorm Meetings + Culture
Fryeburg Academy dorm parents and student dorm leaders plan weekly meetings in the dorm commons room. These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss community living, challenges, and activities. Fryeburg Academy's residential program aims to establish a healthy, supportive, and understanding environment for students to live and learn in their home away from home.
