Academics

At Marianapolis, the academic curriculum fosters the development of critical and disciplined thinking, precise communication, scientific analysis, creative problem solving, and an understanding of global perspectives. At all grade levels, the curriculum encourages students to think creatively and to articulate ideas effectively. HABITS OF MIND Students successfully navigate the challenges they encounter in classes by utilizing a series of behaviors called the Habits of Mind. Cultivating these patterns of behavior leads to a set of valued dispositions that students develop so they are more capable of successfully working at a higher level. The six habits of mind are: Preparation. Participation. Curiosity. Organization. Selfadvocacy. Perseverance. ACADEMIC RESOURCES ADVISOR The Academic Resource Advisor is available to students with demonstrated learning needs and assists them in navigating and coordinating the academic resources at Marianapolis. The Advisor supports student development of executive functioning skills, including time management, organization, and selfadvocacy. One tool that develops and reinforces these skills is Canvas, our online learning management system. The Academic Resource Advisor is available to meet with students individually, with their advisor, with their parents, or in small groups. ADVISORY Every year, you will be assigned an advisor who will play many different roles during your time at Marianapolis, including counselor, advocate, communicator, academic coach, disciplinarian, crisis manager, friend, and partner. You will meet with your advisory several times a week and work on topics such as goal setting, study planning, and other areas as needed. OFFICE HOURS If you are in need of some extra help with an assignment or need to ask some questions before a test, Office Hours occur 5 times per week and will afford you some one-on-one time with your teacher.
