Boarding Experience
Navigating the boarding journey at Canterbury is a remarkable adventure. Here, high school is not just absorbing knowledge from books; you're surrounded by a vibrant community 24/7—connecting with teachers, exploring diverse programs, utilizing top-notch facilities, and bonding with friends who become your extended family.
More than academics, it's about character growth, immersing yourself in a community that values different points of view and welcoming new experiences. This is where education meets life, equipping you for success inside the classroom and out in the world.
Boarding at Canterbury has honestly changed me in the best way. I learned how to stand on my own two feet pretty quickly, and I've made amazing friends from all over the world. The support here is next level—teachers, coaches, dorm parents, and even other students have my back. I never feel like I am going through any of this alone; instead, it's like everyone around me is cheering me on to be the best version of myself.
