Advisory Curriculum
Advisories: A Proven Strategy for Student Success
Fostering Meaningful Connections and Empowering Students to Thrive
At the nation’s top private schools, advisories have been a long-standing best practice for middle and high school students. Advisories provide a critical support system for students during their formative years, fostering meaningful connections with Christian adults and mentors. While students may not always be capable of initiating these relationships on their own, advisories ensure that every student has access to the guidance and support they need to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. Our school is committed to providing a robust advisory program that empowers students to reach their full potential.
“A number of studies have revealed a correlation between a young persons involvement in a quality mentoring relationship and positive outcomes in the areas of school, mental health, problem behavior & health.”
DuBois & Karcher, 2005, Rhodes, 2002, Zimmerman, Bingerheimer & Beherendt, 2005
Foster Relationships
A Curriculum to Foster Discipling Relationships
At Wheaton Academy, we developed an advisory program to make sure that no student falls through the cracks. In Advisory groups, our goal is to provide academic guidance and advocacy, support for goal setting and college planning, and to build a culture of discipleship and leadership.
Our advisory program not only ensures that every individual student has a mentor but also makes space to deliver valuable content that isn’t easily covered in the traditional curriculum. Everything from the responsible use of social media to our college-ready character traits of perseverance, social intelligence, self-control, gratitude, passion, and hope is covered by our Advisory Curriculum.
