We are aware that our concerns must go beyond the academic. We actively encourage and foster the spiritual, emotional, physical and social growth of our students. Presentation, discussion and interaction in the group setting are used to present the Guidance curriculum. The Guidance department provides special academic support in our interactive and quiet study areas. All students are welcome to make use of these facilities.
Special emphasis is placed on working with students who are struggling.
Under the direction of John Hanrahan, counselors, peer tutors, Fairfield University interns and faculty members are available to help students who are having academic difficulty. The members of the Guidance Department have received training regarding substance abuse issues and suicide. Mr. John Brennan, Housemaster and Mr. John Hanrahan, Social Studies Teacher are trained to deal with substance abuse issues. Parents and students should not hesitate to contact Mr. McLaughlin or Mr. Hanrahan to discuss problems or concerns. Certainly all contacts will be treated with strict confidentiality.
