Veterinary Sciences Focus Program
Kids in rising grades 6 and 7 can work with real animals and the professionals who care for them as they dive into the world of veterinary sciences. Here, you’ll diagnose animal diseases, check vital signs, learn to suture wounds, splint broken limbs, perform life-saving CPR, and “read” animals for both injury and illness. With trips to zoos, farms, and animal rehab centers, you won’t just study what it takes to become a great vet—you’ll be well on your way to becoming one yourself.
Sleepaway or Ultimate Day
Stay for the sleepaway and become roomies with us for round-the-clock adventure, from indoor skydiving to beach days. Or spend the day with us as an Ultimate Day student, with the option to arrive early, stay late, and participate in all the same trips and events as your sleepaway friends before returning home for the night.
Feel Right at Home
Our dedicated space at Regis College, nestled between the Highland Forest and the Weston Reservoir on a 132-acre wooded campus in the greater Boston area, is a beautiful place to call home. You’ll love our light-filled adventure spaces, tennis courts, gym, pool, playing fields, track, and plenty of outdoor space to explore. Regular check-ins with advisor groups throughout the day ensure that students are accounted for and that our staff knows how they’re doing. Between every elective, activity, or workshop period, there is intentional time outside on the quad so students can move and play.
