Dormitory

Dormitory options

The RJC dormitories are the best way to have the full RJC experience. The dorms provide the core of our school community that makes RJC special. The dormitories provide a full meal plan, supervision and after school and weekend activities that provide students a level of independence while still having supervised support. The RJC dormitories allow us to welcome students from around the province, country and world to live and study with us.

RJC has two dormitory options to suit your needs: full-time and short-term stay options.

Dormitory options:

  1. Full-time – for students who want to stay through all school days, weekends and regular holidays.
  2. Short-term – for student who want occasional stays in the dorms, on an as needed basis.

The form below is for current RJC day students who wish to apply to become a full-time or occasional dormitory student.

The full experience 

Living in the on-campus dormitory helps prepare students for life after high school. 

RJC’s dorms provide students opportunities to learn and grow in a community focused learning environment. Students will learn independent living skills, habits of health and wellness, leadership skills, and so much more. 

Deans

The dorms are supervised by four staff, called deans, who work to create a positive environment of community, health and wellness.  Deans serve as mentors for the students who live on campus, and provide guidance to students as they grow and develop self-awareness and independence. 

Dorm Rooms

Each room is set up with two beds, two study desks, two closets, shelving and cupboards. We usually pair a student with a roommate, to create a sense of belonging and community, but under special circumstances students may request to have their own room. Once students move into their rooms they can decide how to make the space feel more like “home.” Students will share a common bathroom with their own gender on each floor of the dorm building. 

Common Spaces

There are a variety of common spaces on campus and in the dorms where students can create community together. The dorms house a co-ed games and rec space, a study space, a TV lounge, and an underground theatre called “The Pit.”

Meals

RJC students are fed well. Our amazing kitchen staff works hard to provide nutritious meals for our students that are homemade and often locally sourced. Dorm students are included on the meal plan, which includes three meals a day, as well as an evening snack called “night lunch.” We believe that eating well contributes to students overall health and wellness.

Weekends

Students have the option to stay in the dorms over the weekend or return home to their family. Deans will check in with students throughout the week to ensure a plan is in place for the student. Throughout the year the dorm will be closed for designated long weekends or holidays. During these closures arrangements are made for local and out-of-province dormitory students to return home or stay with friends or family, and for international dormitory students to stay with a host family.

Student Community Council

Student leadership for the RJC community comes from the Student Community Council (SCC). This group meets regularly to consider community health and to plan all school events. This student group is made up of both dorm and day students.
