Boarding

AOA has boarding options available for students enrolled in grades 7-12. Students may choose to board 5 days per week (Sunday evening to Friday afternoon) or 7 days per week throughout the academic year.

Residential life is complimented by the diversity of background each student brings to AOA. While day students commute from the many communities surrounding Cleveland, boarders come from Ohio, across the country and around the world. We believe that there is something extraordinary about living at our school. Opportunities to learn do not end with the last class of the day, but also occur on our athletic fields, in our dorms, and during all of our activities.

Boarders at Andrews Osborne Academy live in one of our gracious Georgian houses on the campus. These homes accommodate ten to twenty students and are overseen by professional housemothers and their assistants. Most students share a room, although some singles are available. Each house has a large living room where students can relax, chat, sit by the fire or practice the piano. Laundry facilities are available in the basements of the dorms. The adults who reside in the houses also eat with the students in the dining hall, attend their campus events, assist them with homework and offer counsel when appropriate. They become a student's family away from home.

On weekends, boarders have the opportunity to relax and be themselves. The school provides transportation to one of the local malls, the movies, more shopping, dances, social events, amusement parks, cultural events and more!
