Aperfect complement to a language-immersion environment is Iowa School for the Deaf’s residences. Lifetime friendships are built in this atmosphere of socializing and interaction. Housed in separate buildings, the girls’ and boys’ dormitories are divided by floors based on student age.

Home Going

Most students go home every weekend. Once a month, school closes early and every student is transported home for a long weekend with families. Extended breaks are during the winter holidays, spring and June through mid-August.

Teen Center

This popular gathering spot is for students of all ages after homework is finished. The modern space features a large screen television, games, snack bar and plenty of comfortable seating.

  

After School Program

The after school Student Enrichment Program (SEP) helps students learn about life skills and the community through hands-on activities such as cooking, field trips, volunteering or hosting guest speakers.

Learning Continues Here

The literacy programs at Iowa School for the Deaf flow into the boarding program as well. Extensive libraries, study labs, group and individual tutoring sessions keep students on academic track.

Health Center

Twenty-four hour care is provided by registered nurses. Annual vision and dental screenings are coordinated by the health center staff.
