Student Life

Advisory

A Familial Support System

We take our role in loco parentis very seriously. Each advisory group consists of one faculty advisor and 4-6 advisees of the same class year. In addition to weekly structured time in this small group where students and faculty can discuss relevant, important social-emotional development topics, advisors also serve as a daily touchpoint for students.

Advisory Curriculum

From a morning greeting walking across campus to a quick sit down during office hours or a snack break at the country store, advisors know their advisees well and act as the first point of contact between parents, students, and teachers. Guided by the social-emotional growth model, the advisory curriculum brings mentorship, structure, and guidance to the student experience and incorporates important soft skills into each student's overall development.
