Bachman Academy is a community where respect for others is extremely important. Every student needs to feel safe, secure, and at home at Bachman. Each member of the residential community shares responsibility for striving to maintain the highest level of respect and support for fellow students and teachers.

Student Involvement
Programs and Activities
In an effort to create a well-rounded residential program, a variety of activities will be implemented on a regular basis. The following list highlights our current programming plans. Students will be encouraged to offer their ideas and suggestions for additional activity ideas. Program and activity options include:

• Monthly family dinners

• Special weeknight activities

• Open gym Sunday-Thursday evenings

• Monthly programs in each dorm

• Weekend activity options that include on-campus and off-campus options

Student Activities Committee
Residential students have the opportunity to participate in the Student Activities Committee. This group is involved in providing ideas, input, and support for residential initiatives and activities. The Student Activities Committee is comprised of boarding students, given Bachman’s desire to make most of the weekend activities available to boarding students.

Residential Faculty
Dorm faculty is present to maintain the safety and security of all boarding students and to provide academic and personal support. Dorm staff is charged with the responsibility of creating an environment in the dorm that encourages students to share responsibility, to learn tolerance for others, and to grow and develop as young adults.

Dorm faculty members will make every effort to develop personal relationships with each student in the dorm. They will also serve as a resource when students are feeling troubled or overwhelmed. Parents are encouraged to share any concerns they may have in an effort to assure that students are receiving the support they need.
