BOARDING

Mount Michael Benedictine has a long tradition of being a boarding school. From it’s conception in 1970, the Monastic community has used it’s resources and abilities to be a residential high school. Our residential program has included students from 34 different countries as well as students local to the Omaha community.

Our current boarding program includes 103 students. When students are boarding they have the opportunity to explore 440 acres of land including a 9-hole disc golf course as well as a variety of hiking trails through grasslands and woodland areas. Students can often be found playing ping-pong, shuffleboard, in the weight-room or playing video games after school.

Boarding at Mount Michael has many benefits including an immersive learning experience where learning extends to outside of the classroom and collaboration can happen at any time. Living away from home encourages our students to become more independent and responsible for their daily routines. This includes managing their time, organizing their schedules, and making decisions related to academics and personal life. Our boarding students often mention that their favorite part of boarding is the strong sense of brotherhood that is gained by living together forging deep and lasting friendships and creating a network of support that extends beyond high school.
