Throughout the school year, Foxcroft girls attend numerous social events with other boarding schools, and also host special events on campus where students from other boarding schools are invited to attend. Each day, meals in the dining hall provide a environment for girls to connect with each other and their teachers in an informal way that fosters a strong sense of community.
