Advisory Curriculum for Middle and High School Students

Advisory programs create dedicated space for students to develop the skills, awareness, and relationships that support success both inside and outside the classroom.

The I Will Be Program is a structured advisory curriculum designed for students ages 12–18. Through guided discussions, reflection activities, and identity-focused lessons, students build self-awareness, character, leadership, resilience, and life skills.

The curriculum helps students move beyond academics and begin exploring the deeper question:

Who am I becoming?

What Is an Advisory Curriculum?

An advisory curriculum provides students with structured opportunities to develop personally, socially, and emotionally while building stronger connections with peers and trusted adults.

Effective advisory programs help students:

  • Build self-awareness

  • Strengthen communication skills

  • Develop leadership abilities

  • Improve decision-making

  • Increase personal responsibility

  • Navigate challenges and setbacks

  • Build healthy relationships

Advisory periods create space for conversations that are often difficult to fit into traditional academic schedules.

Why Schools Use Advisory Programs

Schools increasingly recognize that student success depends on more than academic performance.

Students also need opportunities to:

  • Reflect on their experiences

  • Develop character

  • Explore personal values

  • Build confidence

  • Strengthen resilience

  • Practice leadership

Advisory programs help create those opportunities in a structured and intentional way.
