Year-Round Programs

Recognizing that all students face different challenges in their academic performance, Chaminade offers a supplemental support service, the Academic Resource Program, to assist students in meeting their educational goals. 

This program will meet virtually in Teams while we are in the remote learning phase and will meet in person once we are permitted to have students physically on campus. Each student in the program will be assigned an academic coach that will work with the student through out the fall semester. 

The program will address the following areas:

Academic Responsibility – Included in this topic are the basic skills of tracking one’s performance and ensuring completion of assignments.  Students will: present their agenda book for review, check Netclassroom to identify missing or late work, send weekly emails to their parents and counselor summarizing academic accountability and reporting current grades.  Improved study skill and organizational habits will address individual needs.

Homework Supervision – A (virtual) study space will be provided for student to complete any homework or study for upcoming assessments.

Strengthening of Advocacy in their own Learning – students will be coached on how to appropriately communicate with their teachers in the virtual and in person settings and via email. The best use of X-Block and Independent Collaborative time will also be addressed.  Guidance will be provided on how to most effectively express one’s need for additional support in target areas. 

Tutoring – on-site (or virtual)  tutors will be available

A student’s performance on the upcoming PSAT can qualify him/her for National Merit Scholarship opportunities. The PSAT provides an excellent opportunity to have exposure to the content and timing of the SAT exam juniors will be taking in the spring. This workshop series is designed to help students maximize their scores on all sections of the exam. Students will learn high level and effective, proven test-taking strategies.  Instruction, followed by collaborative, guided, and independent practice, provides the foundation for the course and prepares students for success. 

 

Chaminade juniors will be taking the PSAT on January 26th 2021.  PSAT prep classes will be released at the end of November.
