All Senior School students have a faculty advisor with whom they meet on a regular basis, both individually and as an advisee group. Working in partnership with advisees, advisors work to support the development of each student’s strengths, values, motivations and aspirations. The advisor's primary responsibilities are to:
- To encourage self-advocacy
- To foster personal growth and meaningful school engagement
- To guide in reflection and decision-making
- To partner with the advisee’s family in support of the advisee’s development
The advisor and the head of house are the primary contacts for parents when it comes to overall patterns of wellbeing and development. Teachers and co-curricular leaders will reach out to families if they notice difficulties specifically in their classroom or program. It is also important that parents contact their child’s advisor or head of house regarding any matters that may impact their child’s engagement at school or in school life. This will ensure communication is thorough and timely.
Students are encouraged by their advisors to advocate for themselves and to take responsibility for their choices in academics and all other areas of TCS life.
