Advising at MA
Each student at Marin Academy works closely with a faculty or staff member who acts as an advisor.
Advisors serve as a source of guidance and support for each advisee for both academic and personal matters relating to the school. Aside from getting to know each advisee personally, advisors oversee academic scheduling, watch academic progress, and help the student to organize unscheduled time.
Advisors also serve as a link between home and school. Parents are encouraged to talk with their child’s advisor about any questions or concerns regarding the school and/or their child. Time is set aside weekly for each advising group to meet with the advisor; in addition, advisors maintain frequent, on-going individual contact with advisees.
