Residential Life
Residential life at The Frederick Gunn School is all about community. It’s about finding your friend group and learning to live respectfully with others. More than any other space on campus, your House becomes a home away from home. It’s where you learn to be independent, manage your time and become self-reliant.
Teddy dorm rooms are mostly large singles with a few doubles.
Decorate your dorm room! Personalize your space and make it your own.
The Frederick Gunn School is a small, close-knit community. The friends you make here - sharing a room, hanging out in the common room, talking with your House parents, eating pizza or helping a classmate out with math - are often your friends for life. Ask our alumni, they will tell you!
One student described it as a seven-day sleepover – with homework.
You’re with people who ultimately become your friends.
houses at Gunn:
- We have 10 single-sex Houses.
- The largest House can accommodate 50 students; the smallest, 10.
- Most students live in singles or doubles; a few live in triples or quads.
- All Houses have a common room with comfy couches, a TV, and microwave; it can be a quiet place to catch up on homework, or a hub for hanging out.
- All day students have a room on campus, most with boarding roommates, so there is always a place to study, change for your afternoon activity, and stay over if you need to.
- Student RAs (Residential Assistants) also help to run each dorm. As returning students, they know the school community well and strive to make new students feel at home. As student leaders, they also organize House community service activities and take the lead when you compete in House challenges in an effort to win the House Cup.
