Academic Support

List of 5 items.

• Faculty Academic Assistance

  Students are encouraged to see their academic or cottage faculty members for academic assistance. Most faculty live on campus and are available before school, during students’ study hall times and after the sports program to assist students on an as-needed, individualized basis. Many faculty members have regular help sessions before evening study hall.

• Advisor/Advisee Program

  The Guidance Department coordinates the Advisor/Advisee program and assigns individual faculty members to small groups of students to ensure that the academic and non-academic welfare of each student is being specifically and actively addressed. The advisor acts as an advocate for the student, assists him in resolving problems and keeps his parents informed about his life at CFS. Frequent meetings are held with the advisor and his or her student advisee group. The students engage in academic as well as social activities with their advisors. Advisors are the first line of contact for family members with concerns about their child.

• Academic Coaching Team (ACT)

  At Church Farm School, we are dedicated to developing a robust educational program that inspires our young men to be resilient, independent and curious learners with advanced study skills to apply to their learning across all disciplines. The Academic Coaching Team (ACT) is committed to providing tools and services that equip students and faculty with the knowledge to refine organizational and time management skills as well as inspire our young men to gain confidence to seek assistance independently and collaboratively as needed in all areas of academic and residential life.

• Instructional Technology Center

  The technology resource center is available for all students during the academic day. The Center provides instructional support in using computer technology for learning and teaching and evolves as the technology learning and teaching needs of the CFS community change over time. The Center is staffed by a media arts specialist who works with students on many different levels, including using technology as a tool to improve learning and to build self esteem and a sense of purpose in the student.

• College Guidance

  The College Guidance office is responsible for guiding students through the college search and application process. This includes providing information about standardized testing, individual and group meetings about the college and financial aid application process, assisting with high school curriculum choices and consulting with parents. The Director of College Guidance also oversees the timely distribution of transcripts and other supporting documents to colleges and universities.
