Advisory
Leadership has built a strong Advisory program to make sure that all of our students are known well and supported to succeed. Students are assigned to an Advisory class and Advisor when they enter the school. The group of students in the class and the Advisor work together throughout the four years of high school. Advisory classes, which meet three times each week for an hour and a half, earn full course credits and are graded.
Advisory classes support students to meet the unique expectations of Leadership’s program and to grow as healthy, self-sufficient, and empowered young adults. In all four years, Advisors teach lessons around our School-Wide Outcomes of Personal Responsibility, Social Responsibility, Critical Thinking, and Communication. In addition, especially at the ninth and tenth grade levels, Advisors teach their Advisees the habits of mind of successful students and provide essential health education. In the upper grades, much of the Advisory class is focused on preparing students for life after high school, including the college application process.
Through Advisory, students also build their skills as leaders. They take part in community service projects and, each year, exhibit their learning to answer the spiraling essential questions of:

Over time, Advisory becomes students’ home away from home. Advisors serve as advocates of their advisees and work to build meaningful, lasting relationships with advisees and their families.
