And since your teachers are evaluated by our students every semester, we are confident that you will find them to be effective classroom leaders. For the vast majority of our students, this is their first experience away from family. You will be housed in a traditional residence hall used exclusively for our students. This residential experience can go a long way toward helping you to become a more confident student and young person. You will spend two afternoons a week participating in a career education activity and two afternoons in a special interest activity.
Career education combines personal guidance with a volunteer placement in a local office or agency.
The fact that I was living away from home benefited me by increasing my self-confidence and providing me with the opportunity to develop new close friendships. Our active Student Government plays an integral role in decision-making while our Honor Code Council encourages a positive environment for personal growth. Since personal growth is often the result of our interaction with others, you will find that a residential experience is ideal for improving interpersonal skills. For every one thing I learned inside the classroom, I learned something outside of it. In the late afternoon, you will practice group interaction and problem solving as part of a discussion group.
