Advisory

Advisory at Vistamar

Vistamar teachers value their students as individuals and build trust through careful listening, facilitating collaboration, and supporting students in living our community norms of Civility, Integrity and Initiative. In weekly advisory meetings, teachers engage with small groups of students across grade levels in a non academic setting to mentor and guide them in their daily lives at Vistamar School.

Formal and informal discussions and a slate of activities help foster connections as students develop a sense of community. Students stay in the same multi-grade level advisory groups for all four years. This approach allows underclassmen to make friends and be mentored by older students and eventually mentor younger students themselves.
