Residential Life at Marianapolis is about more than where you sleep - it’s about the community you build. Whether you're a full-time boarder or a day student, you’ll find a welcoming, supportive environment that encourages connection, growth, and independence.
Our residential program is designed to help students thrive socially, academically, and personally - all within a safe, structured, and inclusive setting.
The residential houses and halls at Marianapolis are the foundations of a diverse and global residential community unified by our work to grow, play, and live through Marianapolis’ mission. Students learn and grow, through programs and activities, as well as the cultural exchanges inherent in living together in a tight knit house or hall, fostering lifelong connections.
Day students are invited to participate in our Day Student Boarding Experience, otherwise known as DSBE, where they can live as boarding students for a two-week time period in a house or hall. This program seeks to offer day students a chance to practice independent living and get to know our residential students, as well as our residential programming. This program is offered at no charge to day families.
The eight Houses and halls are divided into three teams and compete in 6 challenges throughout the school year. There can only be one winner in the end! Who will it be? The Maroon, Gold, or White team?
