Student Life
and Services
Family Days
Each year during Class Week 4, BBSH United Kingdom invites families of our students to visit us during Resident
Training—and to learn firsthand about BBSH UK programs. Scheduled activities are available during these fun-filled days!
Professional/Academic Advising
Professional and academic advising is provided to the student by the Small Class Teacher and Class Dean. Small class
size and low student-to-teacher ratio allow time for personal attention and interaction. In addition, Teachers have weekly
office hours when they are available by telephone. Professional and academic advising includes the following:
• Assisting students in clarifying, articulating and attaining academic and life goals.
• Facilitating each student’s academic adjustment to the School’s environment.
• Explaining and clarifying the School’s courses and graduation requirements.
• Educating family members of students by providing on-site family visitation during one class each year.
• Serving as advocates and mediators for students.
When a student’s academic progress is below established standards, a team
conference is held with the student to outline a course of action that
best supports the student’s success. Team conferences are
attended by faculty members who will best support the
student.
Counselor Qualifications
Although the intensive programs at BBSH United
Kingdom require diligence in work and study,
the Resident Training sessions also offer
opportunities for students to get together
socially. Throughout the week, students
gather to relax, swim, make music, dance,
and in general, have fun! And in addition to
required coursework, many choose to
participate in optional elective courses or
meetings.
