Residential Life

Seniors, by seniority, enjoy the privilege of single rooms, while other students will be paired with a roommate. Wasatch Academy has a full-time residential staff that devote themselves completely to supervising the dorm life at Wasatch. These dorm parents do not instruct in the classroom, but dedicate themselves to running a first rate residence and they are focused on the students living in their dorm. The dormitories are equipped with all the basic necessities (and luxuries) of life: DVD and VHS players, pool tables, leather furniture, satellite television, and kitchen and laundry facilities.
