Advisory
7th grade girls advisory
Villa Academy’s Middle School Advisory program supports our whole child development of compassionate hearts and confident minds through intentional time dedicated to developing connections within a small supportive group of peers and a trusting relationship with a caring adult advocate.
Key Elements
Advocacy & Academic Growth
Advisory provides an adult advocate for every student. Advisors nurture academic life, oversee school logistics, and coordinate communication between school and home.
Social, Emotional & Spiritual Growth
Advisory activities help develop self awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making skills within a safe environment where students can take healthy risks and grow.
Community Building & Invigoration
Advisory provides opportunities for inclusive social interaction that promotes our school climate of respect, integrity and compassion in a structure that allows for connection, creativity and fun.
The theme for 7th grade advisory specifically is community building. This year we will focus on strengthening communities within individual advisories, as a 7th grade class, as a broad middle school, and across the entire school. Additionally, 7th graders participate in the spring’s Global Youth Service Day where they engage in community service with an agency that addresses a specific community need.
