My son is at Williston, they have a half day of Saturday classes every other week. On the weeks when they do have Saturday class, they have a Friday morning sleep in/later start. Every Wednesday is also a half day for sports/extracurricular activities. We live close enough that he could come home on an off weekend if he wanted to, but so far he hasn’t asked (other than the long fall family weekend). It doesn’t seem like a ton of boarders leave on weekends, but he is only a 9th grader, so he may not know what older students are doing. We may pull him a few weekends once ski season starts, Williston is conveniently half way between our house and a few ski areas we like in VT.
