What's a student's day look like?
Weekend + Afternoon 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, some opportunities for single rooms and a few triples are available on campus. Each of our five dormitories has unique features based on size, age, and the dorm parents residing there. Each dorm room has a single bed, a desk, a dresser, and a closet for hanging clothes.
Student Proctors
Student dorm proctors ensure a safe and supportive environment for their peers. They uphold school rules, enforce safety protocols, and support struggling students. Proctors also organize activities to foster a sense of community within their respective dormitories. It’s also a great role to gain valuable leadership skills!
Dorm Meetings + Culture
Fryeburg Academy dorm parents and student proctors 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.
