COMMUNITY WEEKENDS
Fostering Our Core Values Beyond Academics
Cheshire Academy hosts special Community Weekends that transcend the traditional academic experience and contribute to the development of a stronger, more inclusive school environment. Required for both faculty and students, these enriching events bolster the core values that define us: a sense of belonging, active engagement, collaborative spirit, and personal and collective growth.

Participation
Community Weekends offer unique opportunities for connection and shared experience. Boarding students must remain on campus for the duration of these weekends. Day students are required to attend all mandatory activities. While they are encouraged to participate in as many of the weekend’s events as possible, they may leave campus upon completion of all mandatory activities.
