Empowering Student Journeys

Ensuring every student feels heard, supported, and encouraged to explore their unique journeys and unleash their full potential.

The Advisory program stands at the heart of our students’ journey through grades 5-12. Creating a safe haven where each student can truly flourish, this program emphasizes robust, positive relationships between students and their advisors, facilitating personal growth, bolstering self-confidence, and encouraging respect and generosity, all within the framework of our Catholic faith tradition.

 

 

Fostering a Culture of Support and Growth

Our faculty and staff advisors are committed to cultivating an environment where students feel valued and understood. This commitment is brought to life through group meetings twice per cycle for all Upper School students and once a month for Lower School, where students engage in dynamic activities and thought-provoking conversations. 

These sessions are designed with a clear focus — to challenge our students to:

Personalized, One-on-One Support

In addition to group interactions in the Upper School, advisors also meet with students on an individual basis once a month. These one-on-one sessions ensure that each student receives the personalized attention and support they deserve. It’s an opportunity for students to explore their aspirations, tackle challenges, and celebrate successes in a confidential and supportive setting.

Your Advisor, Your Ally

Through these consistent, meaningful interactions, our advisory program strives to ensure that every student knows their advisor is not just a guide but a steadfast ally through their Oak Knoll experience. By the time our students are ready to step out into the world, they move forward not just with academic excellence but with a deep sense of self-worth, respect for others, and an empowered voice ready to make a difference.
