• Nutrition

  Proctor’s independent Dining Services team has long prepared fresh, homemade foods for the Proctor community. We strive to balance and emphasize healthy fats, a variety of protein sources, and complex carbohydrates at every meal. Our staff knows nutrition matters to our students, and are working hard to help our students better understand that connection as well. Additionally, Proctor's teams and afternoon programs have access to a certified sports nutritionist on staff for regular meetings about nutrition and fueling their bodies for competition. Learn more about Proctor's Dining Services here! 

• Sleep Hygiene

  On average, adolescents operate on two hours less sleep than their bodies need. Despite a busy schedule at Proctor, we are committed to an 8:10 am start to the academic day and a 10:30 pm in room policy for all boarding students. We work to teach students the importance of sleep hygiene through Fresman Seminar and Sophomore Seminar classes and through intentional conversations in dormitories. More resources on sleep hygiene and adolescents are available for students, parents, and faculty in their myProctor portal.

• Exercise and Fitness

  Equally important to healthy sleep and eating habits for adolescents is regular exercise. Whether it is a walk around campus, a run on the rail trail, a mountain bike ride in the Proctor Woodlands, or playing on an athletics team, taking time to focus on regular exercise leads to increased brain activity, focus, and energy.
