Girls succeed academically at Foxcroft because of the quality of our curriculum and the close attention of our faculty. But they thrive here intellectually, socially, and personally because this is a close community which they quickly come to love.

We have made a major commitment to our students by hiring Housemothers whose sole responsibility is the well-being of the girls in their dormitory homes. Academic or personal challenges are quickly recognized and addressed. Housemothers are in constant contact with teachers and the Dean of Students.

In addition, each girl establishes a special, unique relationship with her faculty advisor. The close rapport that develops manifests itself in many ways: shared meals in the Dining Room or in the advisor's home, attendance at a game or play, formal meetings or just casual conversations. Advisors and teachers speak to parents on a regular basis about girls they know on many levels.

Taken together these things create an exceptional community where girls grow in knowledge, in wisdom, and in compassion, where they feel safe to take the risks that help them develop into leaders.
