Parent Meeting Recordings & FAQs

We plan to engage in a leadership selection process this fall. Given the disruption to our community last year due to COVID restrictions, we thought it best to postpone this process until when we will be together as a community again. 

More information will be coming from the Student Life Office. In the meantime, we are looking for all ninth graders to step up and help welcome our new students and establish the Cardigan Way in our daily lives.

The best choice is to make arrangements to have your student tested at the Mascoma Community Health Center (MCHC), located at 18 Roberts Rd, Canaan, NH 03741. Appointments can be made by calling (603) 523-4343. The Medical Director at MCHC (Dr. Gardner) is also the Medical Director at Cardigan.

While the details have yet to be finalized, just like last year, we will provide opportunities for our international students to stay on campus if they are unable to return home due to COVID-related travel restrictions. 

Our plans generally include housing all students in a single dormitory on campus under the supervision of Cardigan faculty members, eating in the dining hall (with some take-out meals), and engaging in activities on campus (with some off-campus activities as available based on safety concerns).

We are finalizing our approach to on-campus parent visits and off-campus student travel, and will base our policy based on pandemic circumstances in New Hampshire. 

Consistent with our normal Student Life Program, we ask that students stay on campus through September in order to become part of the 2021-2022 school community as well as grow accustomed to our schedule and expectations.

Looking ahead, however, unvaccinated boarding students will be required to remain on campus (except during school vacations) to limit their exposure and to keep them safe. 

All adults who visit campus are required to be fully vaccinated.
