Learning resources

Study
There is a study period each evening for students at all grade levels. Students are placed in Study Hall when they receive two or more unsatisfactory effort ratings in one report. Students who maintain an A- average without any unsatisfactory effort ratings may be allowed the privilege of optional study. With these two exceptions, all students study in their own rooms or in the library.

Extra Help
Teachers are available for extra help when the request for assistance is made in advance. Academic advisors are also available to help their advisees either directly or by recommending other sources of assistance such as the LEARN website.

Learning Resource Centre
Through the Learning Resource Centre, qualified teachers offer students various learning strategies related to organization, time management, note-taking, test-taking, memory and recall, writing, essay planning, advanced reading comprehension, academic confidence, and critical or abstract thinking.

Private tutoring
As needed, students may benefit from individual private tutoring as requested and/or recommended by the respective department heads. Parental consent and approval by the Director of Academics is required. There is an additional cost for this service.

Academic Accommodations
Students with diagnosed and recently documented special learning needs may receive academic accommodations where necessary and available. Psycho-educational testing will be arranged for students with undisclosed or undocumented needs. This testing and any academic accommodations that require individual services will be charged as an extra billing item.

The John H.E. Colby Library
The library is located on the first floor of Colby and features a vast selection of reading material, including fiction, non-fiction and reference books. Visitors can also read magazines, rent DVDs or use the bank of computers for homework and research. The reading area is bright and inviting, the perfect spot for studying and reflection.
