Faculty members work together to develop curriculum in all areas. The school day for students and teachers has been provisionally scheduled to run from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. and for teachers the school day will extend, at least once a week, until 5 p.m. The school year for students will be similar to Boston Public Schools, but the actual school calendar may differ in terms of professional days for teachers and other aspects. In future years, the Academy's school year may also be longer than the BPS school year. All students will be members of an Advisory Group, and most faculty will serve as Advisors.
Advisors also teach a writing course to advisees.
Advisory is a small group of students who come together periodically to provide academic, social and emotional support to all students. More comprehensive material about the approach to teaching and learning is available upon request. Accept flexible assignments, such as team and interdisciplinary teaching, working with different age groups and ability levels, etc. Work with university, college and community collaborators. Participate in creation of integrated, arts-infused curriculum.
