Prep Time
No matter how busy our students are, academics always take a front row seat. We build time into our boarding students’ schedule to accomplish their homework and study goals. From 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, for instance, the International Village observes “Prep Time” for studying together or taking advantage of extra help and tutorials.

Night-time Activities
Our students have many opportunities to make their own choices, but the day ends by returning to the dorm by 10:00 pm and preparing for “lights out” (at 10:30 pm for middle schoolers or 11:00 pm for high schoolers). Students can make a snack in the kitchen, straighten up their room, and get their uniform ready for tomorrow.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Do I need a computer during school or in the residence hall?
    Yes, as a technology school, North Broward Prep requires all students to have a laptop.
  • What happens to boarding students during the various breaks?
    During Thanksgiving and Spring Break, students have the option to go on a school-organized trip or make other independent travel arrangements (permissions required). These school trips are included in the extra boarding fees and offer a chance to see more of the US. 

    During the winter and summer breaks, our school completely closes down, so students must vacate the residence hall and make other arrangements during these breaks.
  • Am I allowed to “check out” to a day student’s house for the weekend?
    Yes, as long as the proper permissions are received, and you’re in good academic and disciplinary standing, we encourage students to spend time off campus with friends who are day students.
  • Who will help students with college applications, SAT/TOEFL testing, and other such activities?
    Working closely with our College Advising Office, Dorm Parents, and the Residential Life Administration Team, we ensure that boarding students do not miss any opportunities. There are often special presentations and meetings designed for boarding students to address their unique concerns. Furthermore, we help coordinate transportation service and registration for any major test needed by a boarding student.
  • Do I need to visit North Broward Prep to apply?
    No, the requirements for application are located on our Admissions page — students may use Skype or other teleconferencing tools to speak virtually with an admissions officer, as needed, to complete the application process.
