Faculty Mentoring
Meet Your Advisor
Our advisor program is designed to support and to guide our
students while developing positive, meaningful relationships with
our students and parents. Advisors promote open and honest dialogue
about academic courses and performance, college/career guidance,
and personal wellness. Our faculty meet with their advisees
regularly and establish a communication link between the School,
the parent and the student. The Advisor-Advisee connection is an
important element and the mutually, respectful relationship
provides a valued experience for students, parents and
faculty.
