Student Life
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.
Life at Cardigan is active, interesting, fulfilling, healthy, and fun. Whether it is building habits to keep a tidy living space, helping out in our local community, or practicing servant leadership through a campus job, student life is all about learning to be independent, resilient, helpful, and respectful citizens.
Equity and Belonging
Cardigan Mountain School is a close-knit community committed to building a culture of equity and belonging in which all members are safe and supported to be themselves. We welcome, include, and appreciate the unique contributions of each member and are committed to confronting biases, addressing the impact of privilege on academic outcomes, and making the Cardigan experience more accessible to boys and families. The school is dedicated to meeting each boy where he is and providing support for all to learn and grow as they prepare for their next step beyond The Point.

A Day in the Life of Cardigan
Cardigan boys accomplish a lot in one day. Step onto campus and join the flow of students from breakfast to classes, advisory, lunch, athletics, music practice, study hall and everything in between!
Be a Leader
Every day, all Cardigan boys are called on to be leaders in ways big and small. Older students model leadership for younger students just as the faculty models leadership for the students. All 9th graders are called upon to set the example for their Cardigan brothers and to lead their school.
