Residential options
About a dozen MV students live with other families each year as part of our Host Family Program. International students must first live two years on campus in the Dayal House to be eligible to live off campus.
Joining our host family program at our private K-12 school opens up a world of enriching experiences and benefits for both the international students and the host families involved. One of the primary advantages is the cultural exchange that takes place, fostering a global perspective within the school community. International students bring diverse traditions, customs, and perspectives, creating an environment where students learn not only from textbooks but also from the real-life experiences of their peers. This exposure helps to promote tolerance, understanding, and open-mindedness, essential qualities in our interconnected world.
The program offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and development for both the hosts and the students. Host families become ambassadors of goodwill, providing a supportive and nurturing home away from home. The sense of belonging and care offered contributes significantly to the well-being of international students, helping them adapt to a new culture and educational system. For hosts, the experience of welcoming a student into their home encourages empathy, cross-cultural communication skills, and the building of lifelong connections with individuals from diverse backgrounds. The program thus creates a microcosm of the global community within the school, enhancing the educational journey for everyone involved.
For more information about the program, contact Colleen Browning-Nyaosi, international program manager, at cbrowning@mvcds.org or 419-381-1313 ext. 157
Maumee Valley’s boarding program is housed in Dayal House. The residence hall, opened in 2013, was designed to create a family-like atmosphere. From the spacious commons to the well-equipped main kitchen, the Dayal House feels like a home. The student life staff includes four adults who forge close relationships with students and guide them in building friendships and developing important social and leadership skills.
Located across the Anning Lawn from the Upper School, the Dayal House is the place on campus where boarding, international, and day students meet after school to work on projects, get tutoring help with homework/papers, or just hang out.
A trained and dedicated staff
The experienced and well-trained staff provides guidance and mentorship while meeting the needs of students in the residential community. With a 7:1 student-staff ratio, staff members know the students extremely well. The staff does an incredible job of fostering a culture of trust, respect, openness, and personal responsibility. Other services provided are:
- Integrating the residential students into the larger Maumee Valley student body.
- Maintaining a safe, clean, and positive residential community.
- Monitoring and promoting balance, wellness, and health of residential students.
