Board of Trustees Votes to Phase out Boarding
APRIL 2021 – Adapting to long-term trends in independent school education, The Hockaday School Board of Trustees has decided to phase out the School’s Boarding Program over the next four years, as Hockaday redoubles its engagement with and expands access to the Dallas-Fort Worth community. In its vote, the Board reaffirmed the School’s commitment to fully supporting current Boarding students through to graduation and to honoring the special legacy of Boarding at Hockaday.

Campus Hangouts
There are many places to hang out with friends on campus during the day and evening hours. Tarry House, a common living room for all day and boarding students, has its own kitchen, dining area, and multiple living areas to relax and enjoy time outside of the classroom.
Each hall has a full kitchen, dining area, and living area for residents to enjoy in the evenings. Large flat screen televisions are available for girls to catch up on their favorite programs. Bridge lounges connect each floor and groups often gather together on the bridges in the evening.
In addition, Hockaday has many outdoor locations to gather, study, rest, and enjoy the beautiful Texas sunshine throughout the year. We even have our own outdoor pool to enjoy on afternoons and weekends.
Dining
Hockaday dining offers delicious and healthy options with a range of American favorites as well as international cuisine. In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the School provides an assortment of snacks, cereals, and beverages on each hall for residents.
