Freshman Formation Semester ? Nocredit The goal of this course is to help students practice the skills and tools necessary for success in high school while introducing them to the mission and Jesuit character of Cheverus High School. The freshman formation program is designed to prepare students for academic, social, and emotional success in high school and beyond. This is an opportunity for students to form relationships with each other, their school counselors, and other members of the faculty and staff who serve as resources for our newest students. The program offers students tools to improve their ability to self- advocate, time-manage, and take ownership of their education.
College Advising Semester ? Nocredit, Pass/ Fail, Grades11-12 99% of Cheverus students enroll in an undergraduate program after graduation. Cheverus recognizes that all students complete the college selection process at different rates. Students will be supported in their college search, provided standardized test taking strategies, and become familiar with application basics and organizational methods that will make the college search an enjoyable learning experience. College Advising provides a weekly program during the second semester of junior year and the first semester of senior year. The program prepares students for the task of exploring post-secondary options and understanding how the college application process works, ultimately concluding with a plan for life after graduation. Informational nights, one-on-one meetings, group meetings, college admission representative visits, and fairs are scheduled throughout the year to support students as they explore their post high school undergraduate options.
Counseling Services Cheverus School Counselors are members of a team of caring professionals at Cheverus High School. Students meet with counselors individually and in small groups as part of a comprehensive grades 9-12 counseling curriculum. Families can request to meet with school counselors throughout the year in addition to grade level informational nights. Counselors are professionally obligated to maintain the confidentiality of their relationship with students, unless such disclosures are necessary to protect the student from harm to self or others, including parents, other students, faculty, or administration. Students are assigned a counselor and will remain with their counselor from the time they enter Cheverus through graduation. Health and Wellness Office SStudent health and wellness is our number one priority. The school nurse assists the students, faculty, and staff with any issues related to health and wellness. Students can visit with the school nurse for physical, social, emotional, intellectual, environmental, and occupational well-being. Health records are maintained by the school nurse and complete student records allow us to provide the best care possible. The school nurse welcomes any questions or concerns on any forms related, but not limited to medical, physical, sports clearance, concussions, or immunization.
