The Hotchkiss School
Academic Support Services
Most students will find academics at Hotchkiss to be challenging as well as exciting. To support student adjustment to increased expectations, a number of services are in place.
The Study Skills Program
This program provides academic support and specific assistance with time management, study skills, reading, and writing. Some 80 percent of Hotchkiss students use these services at some point in their Hotchkiss career.
Additional Support Options
- Study Halls
A two-hour period each evening is set aside for study purposes. Most students study in their dorm rooms, but some avail themselves of more structured options based on the recommendations of their class deans. - Extra Help
Students may arrange a 20–30 minute session per week with their teachers for help with specific classes. - Student Tutors
Student tutors may be available through the community service organization, the St. Luke's Society. Contact the student's advisor or Mr. Lou Pressman, advisor to St. Luke's. - Faculty Tutors
Faculty tutors may be hired in rare instances where a student would benefit from a faculty member other than his or her own teacher. Contact the student's advisor who will speak with the department head.
