New teachers have access to a strong yearlong mentorship program, as well as access to ongoing professional development tailored to individual and communal needs. All teachers receive instructional support from the principal and the dean of academic excellence; student disciplinary support from the dean of students; and support for differentiated instruction, student success, and RTI’s from the dean of student services.
