When the final bell rings, the student’s day has just begun. Residential life provides an array of opportunities to students, including activities such as dumpling making during the Winter Solstice, Mother’s Day candle making, posting New Year wishes on a wish wall for Spring Festival and baking cupcakes, cake and pastries for each other’s birthdays. Likewise, students have participated in competitions such as the International Cultural Themed Trivia Competition, testing students’ knowledge of religion, economics, entertainment and dining. Together these activities supplement the academic elements of a PKU Dalton student’s life, welcoming another dimension that allows students to not only relax, but also connect with their peers, pass on their experiences to underclassmen and partake in community service projects. 

 

After school, students have access to a range of facilities that facilitate their self-study time. For students who are enrolled in online courses they have access to three classrooms with monitors to provide a classroom experience to supplement their online curriculum. For students who need to work in large groups, debate or work on group projects there is a large discussion room that creates a private focused setting. For students who need to concentrate and minimize distractions, there is a designated quiet room. Aside from these specialty use rooms, there is an Innovation Lab where the majority of students enjoy working that balances the concentrated studying of the quiet room with student’s eagerness to collaborate.
