  "I want our students to feel at home while they are here -- at school and in our building. My goal is for the boarding program to be a community within the Currey Ingram community at-large. It has been said it takes a village. I not only want this program to help students be self-sufficient during this chapter of their lives, but set them up for future success as well. I know we can prepare them for life in college and beyond -- not just with valuable life skills, but by modeling the importance of creating a close-knit community, which will help them grow throughout the rest of their lives."

  “The Residential Life program is such a great opportunity for our school to serve more students and families who otherwise may not have had the opportunity for a Currey Ingram education. We have both seen firsthand the transformative experience that students can have in the day program, and we can't wait to see the impact the school will have on our students who join our program in this 24/7 environment.”
