Mentoring

Measuring a student’s abilities using our tailored methodology continues throughout a student’s career at Akademeia High School.

We consistently respond to our students’ growing educational needs, ensuring they maximise their potential through wise iGCSE and A Level subject choices, and through ambitious and appropriate university applications.

At Akademeia High School each student is accompanied on his or her educational journey by a mentor. Our mentors support their students’ learning, inspire and guide their individual pursuits, and advise on their academic choices, both at subject level for iGCSE and A Level, and throughout the university application process.

Mentors lead their students to ask and answer vital questions about themselves, helping them to make informed, life-shaping decisions. This process is naturally conducted in close association with a student’s parents, to ensure a constructive and fruitful dialogue that will create the framework to help each student flourish.

"A mentor is a friendly adult who listens to the student and skilfully asks them appropriate questions

so that the student can better understand their own aspirations, needs, and dreams. A mentor inspires the student but also challenges them, nourishing and accompanying their development. It is impossible to flourish academically without knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses, so the mentor’s role is to help students make the best use of their skills.”
