Dormitory Life

At Great Lakes, we offer a truly unique and enriching dormitory experience for our students. Our 5-Day and 7-Day programs provide a safe, welcoming, and comfortable home away from home for students from around the world. Living alongside one another, students not only enjoy a supportive community but also have the opportunity to build lasting friendships and gain valuable insights from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Your home away from home

Through dormitory life, students from Canada and around the world learn to live and work together.

Our boarding students receive exceptional care and support through a dedicated team of experienced dorm parents who live alongside them. These dorm parents are available daily to assist, mentor, and guide students, creating a positive and nurturing environment where they can flourish. Their presence ensures students feel at home and helps them adjust to life at Great Lakes.

Each evening, we offer a well-rounded program that includes supervised study hall, optional tutoring from our dedicated teachers, and open gym time for relaxation and recreation. The student centre, located in the boys’ dorm, is a popular hangout where students can enjoy games like table tennis and socialize with friends.
