Indoor and Outdoor Sports Facilities

During free time, many students take advantage of the outdoor tennis courts and soccer fields, in addition to the outdoor basketball court that in the winter converts to an outdoor hockey rink. The Mackay and Amaron Gyms are also regularly available, as are the fitness rooms in Amaron and the Pat Burns Arena.
Faculty Advisors

Each Stanstead student is assigned to an advisor who follows the student's academic progress, troubleshoots when necessary and generally helps ensure that the student is getting the most out of his or her experience at the school. The advisor also acts as the liaison between the school and the student's parents. It's a relationship that ensures no student falls between the cracks.
