The “Monarchs in Motion” academic schedule is a new approach to how our students will structure their school days. A departure from traditional schedules, this researchbased academic schedule includes 60-minute classes, a rotating schedule so that classes are attended at different times of day to enhance attention and learning, additional meeting time with teachers and counselors, as well as more time during the school day to complete independent work and assignments. With this structure, students have added time for social development, emotional engagement, and co-curricular activities.
THE CATHERINE LEARNING PROGRAM
The Catherine Learning Program of Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School is an academic support service for a unique group of college-bound students with documented learning differences in reading, writing, and math, and/ or attention issues, organizational difficulties, or memory processing problems. This specialized program, designed to address a range of student needs, and named for Mercy foundress, Catherine McAuley, incorporates key ingredients to assist a student in reaching her full potential. The students have a scheduled period each day during which they develop individualized strategies for academic success.
