Taos Academy’s Synchronous Advisory

All students at Taos Academy are required to join their weekly synchronous advisory meeting with their academic advisor and cohort. This synchronous meeting runs from 8:15 a.m. to 12 m. once per week, during which students and advisors engage in social-emotional learning (SEL) activities, goal-setting, small-group check-ins, and one-to-one support. This sets up students for independent success during the rest of their weekly asynchronous time.
