Family style housing that beats the dorm life
In contrast to the dormitory housing at many tennis academies, Smith Stearns provides four single-family homes, each with full-time supervision by resident house parents. We aim to promote a family-style atmosphere โรรฌ a true home away from home. Houseparents provide transportation, do laundry, and cook meals โรรฌ in addition to providing caring supervision and guidance.
Combined, the four houses accommodate up to 30 players. The homes are spacious and offer a common living area, dining area, kitchen, laundry space, student bedrooms and bathrooms, and a houseparent suite. Students share bedrooms which they can personalize to their taste and an adjoining bathroom. Each student has their own study space, and wireless internet access is available throughout the house.
Delicious home-cooked meals are provided, and each student has the ability to request their favorite foods on a weekly shopping list. Our house parents can accommodate various nutrition requests and food allergies, as well.
Housing is available for full-time students and guests.
High-quality education.
Smith Stearns recognizes the need for players to combine intense training with academic development and success. Our goal is to produce well-rounded and educated individuals that are prepared for college and beyond.
Educational Options
We provide the very best schooling options for our students, depending on their goals or needs. We understand that each student is unique and may excel in a variety of diverse learning environments.
Academic Support
Smith Stearns offers students a strong support system. However, some students may wish to receive extra academic support from highly qualified tutors and SAT Prep and Continuing Education courses. Strong relationships have been built amongst our academic community to arrange any of these services for our students easily.
Individualized programs and schedules that are unique to each student's needs.
Smith Stearns aims to create individualized programs and schedules that are unique to each student's needs. With that being said, each schedule has the potential to be slightly different depending on factors such as private lessons, fitness, school schedule, academic assistance, and periodized tournament training that varies amongst students and levels.
