Collectively, this team has a good overall understanding of each individual student. Residential Life Mutual respect and consideration are the essential elements of the residential experience at Emma Willard. The student to residence faculty ratio is 16 to 1. Each houseparent is responsible for specific halls within the dorms and acts as a resource for students about all aspects of life within and beyond the School. A team of 12th-grade proctors assists the residence faculty in leading, inspiring, and guiding students through the academic year.
Ninth graders share a common hall, while upperclasswomen live on halls of mixed age groups.
Dorm rooms are configured as singles, doubles, and suites. Each day student has a residence hall to which she belongs each year.
