Student Life
Five-Day Boarding Program Mount Michael's five-day boarding programming is often referred to as "the best of both worlds". Students enjoy the fun of dorm life during the week and the comfort and closeness of being with their families every weekend. By living together during the week, students form a close-knit community. Because they have time to spend together, students learn a lot about their classmates. They learn even more about themselves. Day Program Mount Michael's day program offers a family the opportunity to have their son participate in the academics, athletics and the overall experience without staying the night. In general, day students will arrive on campus around 7:30 a.m. and will usually leave campus around 5:30 p.m. As a freshman, all students are required to play a fall and spring sport. The typical school day ends at 3:20 p.m. with sports practice usually concluding at 5 or 5:30 p.m. Day students and their families are encouraged to participate in the rich community life that Mount Michael is known for. On most Wednesday evenings, day students and their families are encouraged to participate in Wednesday night visits. From about 6:00 p.m. to 7:25 p.m. Mount Michael families, friends and girlfriends enjoy a night of community in the Armory or on the grounds in front. Day students are encouraged to parcipate in numerous activities including intramurals, plays, concerts and attending sporting events. In addition, a main component of the boarding program is the evening study hall from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. In order to help the student succeed academically at Mount Michael, families are encouraged to duplicate this study hall in their homes.
