International Students:
Upon arrival on campus, you are directed to your new campus home. It will not look like a dorm because it isn’t. It is a home. And here you will live with your House Parent(s) and other students like you – some may be American, but most are other international students. Within days, this group of people will feel like a family and then, with the addition of other boarding and day students, an even larger family – a community.
Throughout the student orientation days you will meet new and returning boarding students, local day students, and adults who will help to guide you through the opening days of school. It won’t be long before you feel a connection to MacDuffie and a sense of belonging in your new American home. This connection may last the rest of your life.

The Ames Hill Boarding Program primarily comprises non-immigrant international students. Students entering Grade 9 – 12 may apply to live on campus.
