Access to a wide range of community members, who regularly engage in meaningful and enriching dialogue with our students, ensures that our students have more role models and mentors from different walks of life involved in their growing up. Their contribution is invaluable in providing guidance to the students from many different directions– whether it is life skills, understanding a subject better or talking about teenager stuff. Regular and intensive feedback to and from the community members and a commonality in messaging ensures that the child does not receive conflicting or confusing messages.
