Academic Excellence

We celebrate the effort and drive that fuel academic achievement, honoring the successes that arise from that dedication. Our ambitious academic program provides a broad and rich education that prepares our students for entry into top secondary schools, and beyond.

Our Community

Rumsey becomes a home away from home for our students, a place where they feel safe to take appropriate risks, and where they create family bonds with each other and with our faculty. Built on positive and joyful relationships, the Blue Dog community cultivates a culture where it’s cool to do the right thing, underpinned by values of respect, honesty and kindness.

Boarding Life

Our junior boarding program creates meaningful shared experiences, lifelong memories, and countless opportunities for students to build independence and character. We strongly believe in the transformative power of boarding at this profound time in a child’s life, where they can learn self-advocacy, independence, and resilience within a supportive and joyful environment.

A Well-Rounded Education

Academics are balanced by a vibrant array of extracurriculars. Our students learn to lead full, healthy lives as they participate in Athletics, the Arts, and beyond, discovering who they are and what they have a passion for along the way.

Being a Blue Dog cultivated my sportsmanship and leadership—whether I was on the court, or the sidelines cheering my peers on.
