Our Students Don't

Fall Through the Cracks

At The Academy of the Holy Cross, we offer robust, personalized support through programs like the Freshman Advisory Program, the Saint Mary's Program, and the Student Support Program, ensuring each student is guided, encouraged, and empowered to thrive.

Freshmen

Advisory Program

 

Meeting twice weekly, students build key skills like communication, stress management, and time management through activities led by advisors, counselors, and specialists. The program includes study sessions, personalized guidance, social events, and regular advisor meetings, creating a supportive environment for success. Advisors also maintain parent communication and assist with academic planning, ensuring a smooth transition and long-term growth.

    

Saint Mary's

Program

 

Students within SMP are part of  a small group setting wherein they receive guidance in understanding their individual abilities and strengths in learning, self-awareness, and advocacy.  Understanding and learning is enhanced through lessons to strengthen executive functioning, study skills, learning strategies and theory, memory, and daily planning. Students have access to layers of resources including the Math Lab, peer tutoring, writing enrichment, Language Lab, the Student Support Coordinator, and Academic Resource.

Student

Support Program

 

Our Student Support Program (SSP) ensures academic growth through a holistic and individualized approach that includes executive function and organization, study preparation and long-term projects, content teaching and re-teaching, research skills and academic honesty, teacher communication and advocacy, and navigational capacity—all grounded in frequent communication with parents and teachers. Students enter the program through self-selection, parent request, or through academic performance indicators.
