RESIDENCY LIFE

CAMPUS

HOUSING

The Nutmeg Ballet’s housing is designed to prepare students for living independently as young professionals. The Housing and Facility Directors work together to gently guide students in developing their abilities to take care of their individual living needs. Students are required to take ownership of assigned weekly responsibilities in the Nutmeg facility and all students are expected to keep a clean and welcoming living environment. Weekly room checks are conducted by the Housing and Facility Directors. Wireless internet, study room lounges, and kitchenettes are available, and the school library provides a quiet study area for students where they can focus on their academic responsibilities.

  • Year-Round High School Students

    Students high school aged or younger live within The Nutmeg’s main dormitory facility located in The Nutmeg building and are supervised by the live-in Housing Director, who resides on the same floor as the students.  Student Resident Assistants (RAs) – who directly assist the Housing Director – are also present within the dorm area.  Security card access and surveillance video security systems are in place throughout the main building complex.



  • Year-Round Post Graduate Students

    Students in the Year-Round Post-Grad program are given the choice of living within The Nutmeg dormitory or renting one of the many apartments in the downtown area that are within walking distance. Other housing opportunities exist for those with transportation available to them.

  • Summer Program Students

    Students enrolled in one of our summer programs are housed in the dormitory within our facility and/or placed in a historic campus house that is within walking distance of The Nutmeg building.

DORM

LIFE

The Nutmeg knows the importance of a positive living environment in the development of the overall student, and dormitory life plays and important role in this. Efforts are made to provide opportunities designed to enhance the social aspects of being a student at Nutmeg and our students build lifelong friendships while living and training at The Nutmeg. Students engage in many activities in their down time which are not directly related to dance. Such opportunities have included field trips to cultural events, themed formal events, seasonal decorating parties, movie nights, dining out and area shopping trips, Halloween Hay rides, trips to amusement parks, and toy drives for area service providers. Additionally, the students are encouraged to play active roles in the Nutmeg Student Council and the creation/publication of a year book.

MEAL

PROGRAMS

  • Year-Round

    The Nutmeg provides a “continental’ style breakfast each morning and students have their choice of cereal, bagels, toast, yogurt, fresh fruit, granola, English muffins, etc.  Nutritious lunches are also served in our second floor lounge after the academic session finishes and prior to the students transitioning to the studio.  Dinners are prepared and served at The Elks Club a block away, where the students enjoy eating in the Grand Ballroom. Each Saturday and Sunday, students are provided with meals from area restaurants.

  • Summer Program

    The Nutmeg has a special arrangement with The Elks Club such that students in the summer programs are provided with three fresh and nutritionally balanced meals daily, seven days a week.  Only a block away and across from Torrington’s beautiful Coe Park, the meals are served in the Elks Grand Ballroom, providing the students with a beautiful dining environment.


    Nutritious and healthy meals are prepared daily by Denis Fraunhauffer our Food Program Coordinator. Nutmeg Conservatory has a special agreement with St. Francis Parochial School which has provided us with the use of their School Cafeteria located only two blocks away from the main Nutmeg Building Complex. The school provides an excellent environment for our food service program. Students receive three fresh and nutritionally balanced meals Monday – Saturday.


    On Sunday a mid-day brunch and paper bag super is served and has become a favorite amongst our residential students. All summer meals are served in the cafeteria except for occasional evening pizza parties which are held in the dorms and houses.

  • Special Dietary Needs

    Prior to arrival at The Nutmeg, parents will be asked to fill out a special meal form request indicating what special dietary needs a student may have due to food allergies or restrictions due to other reasons. Our food service team will make every effort to reasonably accommodate special needs.


    (Note: An additional fee may be required depending on the extent of special need)
