Components

Essential to all of advising curricula is the concept of communication, both between students and advisors and the students themselves. Relationships and hard work forge the confidence and self-assurance that is so critical to the development of a young mind, particularly one that is skeptical of the status quo. As such, all students are expected to actively participate in regular group meetings and conferences, which represent an important component of the personal development curriculum and offer students the opportunity to carefully examine key aspects of relationships and personal commitment.

It should be emphasized that because the school believes rapport to be the essence of an effective student advisor program, the school is committed to an atmosphere that is respectful and devoid of sarcasm and caustic personality. Carlbrook is founded on the conviction that all students are worthy of respect, must be treated with dignity, and are deserving of patience and explanation at all times. The Advisor Program reflects these values.
