Summary: THE FIVE DAY BOARDING PROGRAM
LI offers a five-day boarding experience for students who want to attend
LI, but live far enough away that commuting daily is not feasible.

THE FULL BOARDING PROGRAM
The full boarding program provides a “home away from home” in one of six beautiful dormitories for students from several countries including Afghanistan, the Bahamas, Brazil, Guyana, Rwanda, Spain, Kazakhstan, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Thailand, Serbia, Montenegro, Denmark, Vietnam, Italy, Canada, USA, Mexico, Sweden, and Taiwan. The boarding experience adds a new dimension of interaction, dialogue, cultural exchange and learning. The dorms are designed to provide a home-like atmosphere with resident dorm parents living in the dorms to create a safe and welcoming environment.

Single and double rooms are available.

RESIDENT LIFE CURRICULUM
The Resident Life curriculum is based on the premise that learning is not limited to the school day; learning also takes place after school.
Learning happens in the residence halls, on the playing fields, during
recreation time and when our students are out in the community
providing service. We structure student’s time after school with intent and purpose. We have created a residential curriculum that compliments the school’s mission by instilling skills for students to be successful in school, college, careers and life. We use the core
values of respect and responsibility as a foundation to develop character and the ability to interact and live with other individuals. Other focal
points within the dorm curriculum are time management, structured and independent study, stewardship, community service, and involvement and participation in school activities.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS PROGRAM
Throughout its history Lyndon Institute has served international students from many different countries. Our mission is to prepare our non-native English speaking students to succeed in both academic and social settings
using English. We are committed to meeting the academic and social
needs of each student through an individualized, rigorous, comprehensive
immersion program of English classes that focus on the student’s
language proficiency.
