Academic Support
The Advisor Program
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who serves as a contact for students to work with, talk to and confide in. Advisors are available to their advisees as needed, and meet formally every Wednesday morning to review progress and discuss challenges. Parents are welcome to contact the advisors for updates on their son's development as well.
Nightly Study Hall
All students are required to attend study hall for two hours per night, five nights a week (Sunday - Thursday). The faculty closely monitors study hall and aids students who may need extra support or guidance. This quiet time is designated for students to complete their daily homework assignments, study for tests and work on projects. Cell phones and other electronic devices are silenced during study hall to ensure the entire two hours is devoted to school work.
Extra Help
Teachers are available in their classrooms every day after school. This is a great time for students to ask questions and review material with their teachers. If grades slip below a certain threshold, students will be required to attend extra help with their teachers.
Afternoon Study Hall
If grades slip below a certain threshold, students are assigned to afternoon study hall. This time is to be used to work on the specific subjects that the student is having difficulty in. Proctored by faculty members, this study hall is held Monday thru Thursday from 2:30 - 3:30pm.
Academic Campus (AC)
Additional study halls are proctored on the weekends for students who need additional time to complete their work.
