Canfield echoes those sentiments. Besides the inherent difficulties they have in nurturing adolescents, their sons are soon in academically challenging situations. To better understand the demands at school, mothers and fathers find help in peer support groups. In addition, they meet with school staff and other parents at quarterly 2020 breakfasts and monthly parent meetings. Tutoring is available to 2020 students in many forms.
Students can also attend personal tutoring sessions with certified tutors during the day.
Peer groups also make time outside the classroom, helping forge a real sense of togetherness. Shooting hoops together is a favorite pastime, and an Opening Day trip to Tiger Stadium in Detroit is always a big hit. 2020's Jesuit scholars are also mentored while at St. John's Jesuit. We want to give them social as well as academic support. First, each student in the program is paired with a faculty or staff member, who helps them feel a special part of the school community.
