Student Life

Monarch School provides a safe and supportive peer
culture that nurtures personal growth and learning. When
a student enrolls, he or she becomes part of a community
that bolsters confidence and guides each student as he or
she adjusts to school life. “Big Brothers” and “Big
Sisters” facilitate a student’s entrance into the Monarch
family. These friends mentor new students and ease the
transition into the school. They assist with dorm relations,
explain and model the school agreements, and simply
spend time with their new friends. As students progress
through the school, they have the opportunity to become
a “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” and continue our long
tradition of giving.

We encourage students to discover the value of positive
choices and personal accountability through each
component of our curriculum: college preparatory
academics, fine arts, personal development, vocational
learning and outdoor education.

At Monarch School we know how to have fun. We
provide numerous safe and healthy opportunities
for students to exercise, explore, and to make healthier
choices. All of our activities seek to empower students and
to teach them how to appropriately manage their free
time. Weekends are packed with activities on campus
and typically include structured recreation. We also offer
off-campus excursions, outdoor adventures, and team-
building experiences.

 

Collaborative Professionals

Students implement interpersonal communication skills and work as a team. They become effective writers, speakers, listeners, and non-verbal communicators who thrive in collegiate settings.

 

Critical Thinkers

Students filter information to assess various situations. They use available resources and information to form solid options and create logical solutions.

 

Leadership

Monarch School requires that students model kindness and compassion while adopting leadership positions. We present ample options for students to lead their peers: They are responsible for managing vocational classes and clean-up after each meal, for holding one another accountable in dorms as a dorm manager, and for improving our school’s overall harmony.
