Our Approach
The Cardigan Way
We offer boys the right balance of structure and independence, challenge and support, with a focus on individual growth and a strong, positive sense of community.

A Structured Environment
Daily life at Cardigan provides the structure boys need to succeed. Predictable routines keep students productively engaged from the day’s first class through afternoon sports, at meals, and during the evening study hours. Boys know where they need to be, what they need to be doing, and when and how to seek extra help.
Skills for Life
We purposefully develop the interpersonal and communication skills that make a student successful at Cardigan and beyond. Our students do not have cell phones on campus—the firm handshake and eye contact, along with the common courtesies, confidence, and respect are fostered here.

A Team for Every Boy
Cardigan athletic teams foster sportsmanship, teamwork, and school pride. We support multiple teams in each of 17 sports to meet the interests and develop the skills of all Cardigan boys. Every boy has the opportunity to play, learn, and have fun.
Brotherhood
At Cardigan there is a certain magic that happens when an aspiring group of boys from all over the world, with high expectations of character and purpose, come together and share a common experience: our students call it brotherhood.

Our Community
A Community in
Your Corner
Our faculty get to know each boy through their roles as teachers, advisors, coaches, and dorm parents. Living as one in a community under their caring guidance helps every Cardigan boy find room to grow.

Welcome To The Point
