With the opening of the new makerspace, The Innovation Lab at Foxcroft School or "TIL@FXC," students and faculty alike are brainstorming creative uses for the tools.In the laboratory classrooms of the Science Wing in Schoolhouse, you can often find students mixing compounds and analyzing the reaction of substances.

Dorm Teams are comprised of four dedicated faculty members and several student leaders managing residential life and daily happenings. •Every girl, no matter a boarder or day student, has a room and roommates. •Ninth graders are housed together in support of a very intentional, skill-building Freshman Program, which helps ease the transition to high school. •Through regular hall meetings and leadership development, the residential program integrates our Wellness curriculum by teaching and reinforcing practical life skills, such as self-care, time management, sleep hygiene, communication, and conflict resolution.
School Lunch
At Foxcroft, it's a common scene for girls who are early risers to enjoy a seated breakfast together in the Dining Hall before classes begin. For some, grabbing a quick breakfast bar, yogurt, or fruit are just what they need to start their day. During lunch, the energy among our School community in the Dining Hall is palpable, as girls fill their plates with the entree of the day and routinely visit the make-your-own salad bar that is loaded with all the best toppings. There are also stations for the Soup of the Day and a Sandwich Bar, and fresh fruit is always available.
