The Deck House School is a college preparatory boarding school for boys ages 15-19 who, for a variety of reasons, have been unable to reach their potential in traditional academic settings.

The school offers a college preparatory curriculum comparable to that of many selective boarding schools.

This is coupled with daily support, positive peer pressure and a disciplined, highly-structured community environment.

The school's mission is to work with each student until he is ready and able to earn admission into another academic setting; whether it be secondary or tertiary.
