Advisory

Wildwood’s Advisory Program gives each of our students a meaningful, personalized connection to the school. The Advisory program creates a "home" for every student at the school - a place where each student is well known and their academic progress is supported.

Faculty advisors act as mentors to each of their students and meet with their small group of students daily. The advisor gets to know each of his/her advisees well and students are engaged in activities that help them get to know the school, their teachers, other students, and themselves. Advisors work one-on-one with students on academic planning, tutorials and portfolio development and on group activities such as Socratic seminars or community involvement.

Advisors also serve as the primary contact between the school and the student’s family. They are responsible for the narrative assessments that chart each of their student’s progress and they coordinate each student’s family conferences and portfolio presentations.
