• Why do we have an Advisory model at Bostonia?

    We have an Advisory model so that teachers, °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ and families can develop and build strong bonds during their three years in middle school. The Advisory time (from 9-10am every morning and 3-3:15 every afternoon) is a key time for discussing important issues and helping °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ become invested in doing their part to create a strong, vibrant, healthy school community where they can flourish. During the middle school years, °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ hone their talents and often develop lifelong hobbies, interests, and skills.

     

    What is Advisory?

    Our advisors foster connectedness by consistently building relationships, trust and focusing on scholar future selves.

      • Facilitating community building circles
