Boarding and Accommodations
Boarding and Accommodations at Saddlebrook Prep
Our boarding program was designed with an attention to students involved in both the athletic and academic programs. Our students are always welcome to visit and use the fitness center and swimming pool at Lakeside Village. In addition, students take trips once a week to area grocery stores in order to purchase individual snacks and beverages for their rooms, or any incidental items they might want. Students will enjoy additional outings, including scheduled trips to the movies and the mall based on tournament schedules. A multitude of academic field trips are also planned for the year.
Students will find housing in two-bedroom condominium units located onsite at the Saddlebrook Resort. Each unit contains a separate bath for each bedroom, a well-appointed living and dining area, a kitchen and a patio. Rooms are maintained by our professional resort maintenance staff. Students bear the responsibility for making their beds, laundering their clothing, reducing clutter and for keeping the kitchen neat and clean. Once a week, the Saddlebrook housekeeping staff replaces the linens and cleans the bathrooms and kitchen, as well as vacuuming each unit.
There is a nightly curfew of 8:30pm, and light go out Monday through Thursday at 10:15pm. Friday and Saturday lights out for 6-10th graders is 11:00pm and is 12:00am for 11th and 12th graders. Lights out observations are enforced with nightly bed checks, carried out by the RA’s.
The RA’s provide our students with counseling, transportation and supervisory services. Further, it is they who are responsible for organizing afterschool activities like those mentioned above. The school’s RA’s are overseen by the Supervisor of Boarding, who in turn reports to the Director of Student Affairs.
You’ll find emergency medical assistance available to all students on a 24-hour basis by the resort’s highly trained security staff. These men and women are trained in the lifesaving tactics of CPR and emergency first aid. Hospitals, walk-in clinics and specialists are all located safely and conveniently within a fifteen-mile radius of Saddlebrook Prep. Doctor visits can be easily scheduled through the school as needed.
Dining at the resort is both nutritional and attractively served. Students will find a wide variety of foods at their disposal. Students will be supervised by teachers during breakfast and lunch and by RA’s during dinner.
The Saddlebrook Prep Student-Parent Handbook contains much information about life and academics and athletics at the school. The handbook will be distributed to students and parents upon their arrival. The handbook’s contents include academic procedure and policy, as well as boarding rules and regulations. In addition, the student code of conduct will be explained to parents and students during orientation. It is each student’s responsibility to read and understand the contents of the handbook. Students will sign a document acknowledging this.
