Monitor Academic Progress and Performance:

We monitor each student’s academic progress and performance (i.e. classroom performance) in their coursework by meeting periodically with the student and cross-checking with his/her educators at the student’s school. We collect performance data from teachers at the student’s school. These data are used for discussions with the student at the scheduled once-a-month meetings. As needed, the student is given specific recommendations and strategies for improvement.

Advise/Counsel Students on Selection and Participation in Extracurricular Activities:

We help students understand the value of, and guiding principles for, participation in outside-the-classroom activities, as well as help them with the process of selecting activities that make sense for them. We help each student to select 2-3 extracurricular activities and encourage them to participate in these activities in meaningful ways for at least a whole school year. Participation in these activities can either be done during the school year or during school breaks or both. We further help students by providing them with information about availability of other extracurricular activities.

Help Students with Academic/Career Planning and Course-Taking Sequence:

This is involves evaluating the high school course-taking sequence for each student and recommending appropriate changes. The aim here is to align the student’s course-taking sequence with his/her strengths, interests and future college/career aspirations. This will also help ensure that we can continually evaluate the strength of the student’s overall curriculum. This service is provided to 10th graders, beginning with the coursework prescribed by the high school for their first semester in 10th grade. The student’s academic performance is evaluated every semester to determine the need for making further changes in future courses.
