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.
