Boarding That Fits Your Lifestyle

Five-day Boarding Option

While the majority of our boarding students are here seven days a week, Steamboat Mountain School offers a premier five-day boarding option that seamlessly blends the advantages of full-time access to faculty, resources, and a vibrant school community with the convenience of weekends at home. 

Our five-day boarding program allows students to cultivate independence in a nurturing and supportive team of residential faculty. This living arrangement fosters not only academic growth but also lasting friendships within a diverse community of peers from across the U.S. and around the world. 

The five-day boarding experience at Steamboat Mountain School is more than just a place to live—it’s a chance to engage fully in all aspects of school life, from athletics and the arts to social and academic pursuits. Our boarders enjoy the benefits of a close-knit residential community while developing the personal and social skills that will serve them for a lifetime.

Whether you’re based in Denver and want your student to enjoy the best of city and mountain life, or you live on the outskirts of town and seek an  immersive residential and academic experience during the week, the 5 day boarding program is an exceptional choice.
