Mennonite Elementary Boarding Schools

Although there are many Mennonite schools, it is rare to find a Mennonite elementary school with a boarding program. There are no Mennonite elementary schools that are exclusively boarding programs, but at least one school serves both local and nonlocal students with a residential program. Other schools offer off-campus residential programs and partner with host families.
