Freshmen are automatically assigned to study hall, as are students on academic probation. Students with two quarter grades below 78 are assigned to study hall for the following quarter. When students do not have assigned classes or study hall they may talk or study together outdoors, in the Student Lounge, in the Dining Room or in other designated areas. Students who wish to study quietly may go to the Library, to Study Hall, or any available classroom. Eighth period on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and on most Fridays, is designated a Study/Tutorial time. In keeping with Goal Five, students are encouraged to use this time productively and to make appointments to meet with their teachers one-on-one as needed.
Private Tutoring
The faculty is available to give students extra assistance; however, if a student needs help on a regular basis, private tutoring should be arranged by the parents. Faculty members may not receive payment for tutoring the students they teach. Faculty members may tutor students they do not presently teach and receive tutorial payment for their services. A fee for tutoring will be assessed by the individual tutor.
