MentoringEach student will be assigned a mentor who guides him in applying the principles taught in the classes. He is like a coach who teaches, challenges and encourages each student to reach his best. Specifically, he helps the student set goals that are important and practical. In an ongoing way, he helps the student track his progress toward these goals.
Mentors are chosen because of their proven ability to be effective mentors in previous activities sponsored by Southmont, Overlook, or Schuyler Hall. Bring Friends We encourage you to inform the parents of your son's friends about The Grade. When friends attend the program together, a means of reinforcement is established that extends well beyond the classroom. If you would like a brief presentation of the program for you and other parents, please call Larry Olsen at 914-755-6240.
| SponsorshipThe Grade is co-sponsored by Overlook, Southmont, and Schuyler Hall Study Centers. All three study centers are dedicated to the academic and character development of young men. The Christian orientation of their activities is the responsibility of Opus Dei, a personal Prelature of the Catholic Church (www.opusdei.org).
LocationThe Grade takes place at Schuyler Hall on the third Saturday of each month. Schuyler Hall is located on the 2nd & 3rd floors of Murray Hill Place (northeast corner of 34th St. and Lexington Avenue) within blocks of both Grand Central Station and Penn Station. Many students take the train and walk from these stations. Parents also car pool. If you want to coordinate travel plans with other parents in your area or along the same train route, please call Larry Olsen, the director of The Grade, at 914-755-6240. See Map and Directions for more information.
