Student Life

Residential Life

At TJ, you are more than a resident—you are part of a family.

Living on campus means learning how to share space, build relationships, and take responsibility for yourself and others—skills that will serve you well in college and beyond. At the same time, we work hard to make boarding feel like home, with comfortable living spaces and a community that supports you every day.

You’ll be surrounded by adults who know you and care about your well-being. Our boarding-life team includes Resident Assistants (RAs)—many with backgrounds in or training toward social work or counseling—as well as a school nurse, a school counselor, and a student-led Boarding Council. Together, they create a network of support that is always within reach.

TJ is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where you can be fully yourself. We are proud to be a community where students openly express their identities and feel recognized and respected. Our housing options reflect that commitment: while most dorms are designated as male or female spaces, we also offer—with parent permission—a gender-inclusive option designed to support students of all gender identities and expressions. In all dorms, you’ll typically share your space with one boarding roommate and two day-student roommates, building close connections that often become lifelong friendships.

Here, boarding is more than where you live—it’s how you belong.
