A warm welcome to you from the Residential Life Division at CSDR. We are responsible for approximately 180 students during the week period from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon. The dormitories include a total of 12 buildings, currently being replaced in phases by new state-of-the-art cottages starting in Fall 2010. Each school (Elementary, Middle, High School and Special Needs) has its own dormitory.

The Residential Program consists of two primary focus areas. First, students live in a positive home-like atmosphere allowing for a safe social environment. Second, various after school programs and academic resources provide the necessary support needed for every student’s social, physical, and academic success.

Staff of the Residential Life Division is composed of three Supervisors of Residential Programs (SRPs). Under the leadership of a Director of Residence, SRPs play an important role in providing leadership to the areas for which they are responsible. Seven Supervising Counselors (SCs) are responsible for the daily operations in their area and act as on-site supervisors lending direction to all Dormitory Counselors, Night Attendants, and the Transportation Coordinator. In all, our 52 Dormitory Counselors and 12 Night Attendants spend endless amounts of energy attending to students. This group of dedicated individuals is the most important part of the Residential Program.

The after school activities program is also a strong segment of Residential Life. Parents of day students are strongly encouraged to involve their children with the Residential students. Residential staff excel in their creativity and scheduling of student activities. Our philosophy is based on Social, Physical, Intellectual, Communication, and Emotion. (SPICE), an experiential, yet applicable method helping students develop higher skills in managing the challenges of daily life.
