Eighth Grade Advisory Exploration
In The Summit's Upper School, students participate in daily advisory with faculty mentors to support academic readiness, build organizational skills, strengthen relationships, and support communication and social skill development. Students may also use this time to check in with their teachers or engage with mindfulness practices and programs like Inner Explorer.

In second semester, eighth grade students will meet together as a unified group daily along with their faculty mentor, Mrs. Smith, to focus on career exploration, job shadowing opportunities, professional communication and dress, and fundraising and planning for their class trip at the end of the school year.

Emily C. is looking forward to a new semester with new possibilities and opportunities for connection. She says, "I'm excited about working on fundraisers for our trip and to spend time with the other eighth graders." The group is already hard at work finalizing their plans for their first fundraiser of the new year!
