Supporting students throughout their days, months, and years of growth is of utmost importance. Form Deans assigned to each grade and advisers assigned to each student work in groups and individually with students through the transitions, challenges, and joys of their academic, extracurricular, and personal development.
Deans have years of experience in classrooms and dormitories; they share a strong passion for helping each student in their care to successfully navigate the high school years. One of their primary goals is to make sure that every student at Choate is connected to adults in our community in meaningful ways, and so they work to form the web of support we feel is deep and strong.
Faculty advisers play a crucial role in the academic and social development day to day. Resident faculty serve as advisers for boarding students; non-residential faculty serve as advisers for day students. Continuity and regular informal meetings allow students and advisers to develop a close working relationship.
Teachers keep in touch with advisers through communication, which record significant developments in your academic life. Students are encouraged to take advantage of weekly conference periods to discuss work and progress with teachers and advisers.
