The residential program at XLIS regularly organizes community-building and wellness-based activities, such as cooking classes, swimming classes, movie nights, and cultural celebrations. These events are meant to enrich the students’ residential experience and provide opportunities for them to socialize in a safe environment. Academic support and single subject tutors are available upon request and tailor to the individual needs of each boarding student. Furthermore, field trips which include visits to museums, art exhibitions, and scenic views of the city are also available during the weekend for full boarding students. Finally, the dormitory director and the coordinator are in constant communication with the students’ academic principals and teachers, thus encouraging all residential students to work diligently toward meeting their academic goals. They are also prompted to participate in social service opportunities and nurture their personal interests. The XLIS Residential Program strives to create a vibrant community of multicultural learners and student leaders.
