Each student is assigned a faculty member as an advisor. This teacher helps students plan their schedules, maintains a record of progress towards graduation requirements, and generally oversees the academic performance of his/her students through frequent meetings.
Academic recognitions are given at the end of each school year. The Gold Award is given for straight “A” grades in all academic subjects. The Silver Award recognizes students who receive all “A” and “B” grades. Other recognition is given by departments and various community groups for outstanding performance.
