Supervision and Security

The group is accompanied throughout the program by instructors and resident advisers.

Resident advisers who have training and experience working with the New York Summer Program for High School Students are housed with the students. In Jordan, the instructors also live at the residence. Resident advisers provide supervision on evenings and weekends and arrange for group activities during the day when class is not in session.

Student safety is of the highest priority for Columbia University and King's Academy. Columbia dormitories are staffed 24 hours a day with security personnel, and no individual without a Columbia University identification card and/or clearance for dormitory access is allowed to enter a dormitory. King's Academy's closed campus is patrolled 24 hours a day, year-round, by security personnel. At both Columbia and King's Academy, students are expected to sign out when leaving campus on their own after 7 p.m. and to abide by curfew and rules of acceptable conduct.
