Residential Life at Haile-Manas Academy

Why would a student want to live at school?
Living at school opens up many possibilities for academic and personal growth. Thanks to our residential setting, HMA students have:
1) Plentiful time to dive deeply into academic pursuits, specifically project-based learning
2) Authentic, lasting relationships with faculty who also live on campus – every student is known to his/her teachers as an individual
3) Authentic, lasting friendships with peers from different parts of Ethiopia they might not otherwise meet – our diversity is a strength
4) Opportunities to build community and create community norms that respect others' differences
5) The experience of personal growth and independence while supporting others
6) The chance to practice leadership and responsibility in everyday life
By living at school, you aren't losing a family, you are gaining a much bigger one with whom to learn, live, and grow.
