Move-In

Check back soon for more information

In preparation for our entire community’s return to campus, student arrivals will be staggered according to the following schedule:

• August 29 - Student Leaders
• September 1 - Varsity & Invited Athletes
• September 3 - International Students
• September 6 - All Other Students

Laundry Service

For dorm students wishing to do their own laundry on campus, they can come to the Debit Card desk and sign up for a laundry card. Students will need cash to add additional loads of wash to their card. They use the same card each year they attend Canterbury. Washers and dryers are located in the dorms. Their first card is no charge, replacement fee for each Lost/Stolen/Damaged Card: $6

One load of wash = $3.00 ($1.50 wash / $1.50 dry)

For dorm students not wanting to do all or part of their laundry, Canterbury School works with E & R The Campus Laundry to provide a full line of pick-up and delivery laundry and dry cleaning services to accommodate our student's needs. They offer a couple of options which you can contact directly for your different needs: eandrcleaners.com or TheCampusLaundry.com.

Students may also walk downtown to the green in New Milford to use either of the two local laundry and dry cleaning establishments.

Canterbury Debit Card Account

Adela Durant
Debit Card Coordinator

New Students will receive a Canterbury Debit Card after Registration and their photo has been taken. This card has various functions and is to be used each year they are at Canterbury.

The Canterbury Debit Card is used as our students' ID, for allowance withdrawals, access to the Steers Center, and for boarding student’s dormitory door locks. Students are to present this card for each purchase in Canterbury's snack bars including the Steers Center Café, and the school store. Both discretionary and non-discretionary charges are posted to this account.

A student's first card is no charge; replacement fee for each Lost/Stolen/Damaged Card: $15
Please complete and return this form and initial deposit on or before August 15 to the Debit Card Office.

Each month parents will receive two statements:

1. A Student Billing Statement via email
2. An itemized summary of Debit Card Account Statement via email. Charges for certain academic-related fees will continue to be billed on the Student Billing Statement. Guided by the budgeting worksheet and direct communication with their child, parents can determine the frequency and amounts required for deposit to their student’s Debit Card Account.
