Advisory Description
This dedicated time ensures every student feels seen, heard, and empowered to contribute to a school culture built on safety, kindness, and excellence. The curriculum reinforces these values through team-building, “Family Dinners,” and a focus on habits from our Portrait of a Middle School Learner. Complementing this daily connection is the House System, which fosters vital cross-grade relationships by placing students in one of eight Houses—mixing 4th–8th grade students and faculty leaders.
Students engage with the rich history of Holland Hall by connecting with the legacy of their House namesakes, from Alexander to Walter. This course focuses on building cross-grade mentorship and school spirit through bi-monthly House meetings and community-building competitions.
Students explore a monthly focus on essential character habits, such as resilience and self-awareness. This curriculum bridges the gap between personal growth and academic success, helping students internalize the values of the Holland Hall Middle School learner.
Building on the foundation of kindness and care, this course organizes student-led service projects and team-building initiatives. It empowers students to take their internal Advisory values and apply them to the wider community, fostering a sense of social responsibility.
