Sports & AthleticsOur educational philosophy is centered around student autonomy and self-advocacy. We’ve designed specific services to help empower students when they come to school each day in addition to providing many critical auxiliary services such as a lunch program, before-and after-school care, and transportation.
Ongoing student support is a critical part of our academic program. Deans are assigned to a specific grade level, or group of grade levels, to regularly monitor student performance and proactively identify those who need support or are making exceptional strides.
Sometimes, whether a transferring student needs to catch up on material or a student is struggling in a particular class, a customized student support plan is necessary. Deans play a very specific role in developing and orchestrating a plan for students who need additional support above what is offered in the classroom. First, they meet with the student and assess, then they employ a plethora of strategies such as extra teacher hours, peer tutoring, executive functioning and organizational support. Most importantly, whether a student is on a Student Support Plan or not, we celebrate success as students inevitably make strides towards achieving their individual goals as scholars.
All teachers are required to hold weekly office hours that are available to students (and parents) who want to check in on progress, review content or homework, work on some extra skills, and more.
Peer tutoring was purposefully designed to be a hallmark of our school. Held as an after-school program, it is designed to achieve two outcomes:
Early Bird
Early Bird is an extension of the school day available to all students before the start of school from 7:00–8:20 AM. This hour provides a place for students to complete homework or quietly socialize with friends in a supervised environment. There is no fee for Early Bird.
Late Bird
Late Bird is an after-school extension available to all students from 2:50–6:00 PM. We provide students a supervised environment in which to complete homework and an opportunity for some quiet socializing. Late Bird is free of charge until 5:00 PM, and then a fee will be incurred for utilizing the service.
