Advisory
Fenn's advisory program helps to support the social and emotional well-being of our students, to ready students for their academic pursuits each school day, and to provide an anchor of trusted relationships between students and their advisors and advisory mates.
Advisory groups meet each morning before the students' first period class. By focusing on the development of the whole boy, advisors help to grow their confidence in their academics and social connections and to balance all that the full Fenn school day has to offer.
Fostering Community
Fenn's morning advisory period creates a consistent and dedicated time for students to come together, strengthening their sense of belonging and unity within the school. This regular gathering helps to build a supportive environment where our students feel like connected and valued members of the community.
Building Relationships
This time during the school day provides opportunities for students to form meaningful relationships with their peers and advisors. These personal connections are crucial for emotional support, trust, and effective communication, which contribute to a positive and collaborative school atmosphere.
Launching the Day
Beginning the day with advisory sets a positive tone, helping students to focus and prepare mentally for the day ahead. This time can be used for setting goals, discussing important announcements, catching up with other faculty members, or engaging in activities that creating lasting memories. Every advisory period is an opportunity for a more productive and enthusiastic start to the school day.
