Residential Life Opportunities
THRIVING IN LIFE
Our residential life program fosters a vibrant community through a strong support network. From residential staff and nurses to counselors, faculty, coaches, dining hall personnel, security, and maintenance crews, everyone at Tallulah Falls School is dedicated to engaging and encouraging our students from day one.
With abundant opportunities for leadership, character development, academic achievement, athletic success, creativity, and personal growth, we cultivate an environment where everyone encourages one another. Together, we create a thriving community where each student can reach their fullest potential.
For middle school students, check out our Junior Boarding Program. TFS also offers a Five-Day Boarding Program.
Learning to Lead
Our program is led by our students and guided by our staff. Through our committees, student’s voices are represented, and when they are represented – they feel safe and confident. When students feel safe, they can thrive in their community.
a few of our favorite Weekend things
Weekends at our boarding school are anything but ordinary. For our seven-day boarding students, Saturdays and Sundays are filled with outdoor adventure, local exploration, and beloved campus traditions. From cozy movie nights and fire pit s’mores to mountain hikes, shopping trips, and special excursions, every weekend offers opportunities to build friendships, create memories, and experience the very best of our community and the surrounding region.
