Montgomery Bell Academy, as a day school for young men in grades
seven through twelve, seeks to enable its students, first, to achieve
excellent academic preparation for college and a lifetime of enthusiastic
and critical learning, and, second, to become responsible and productive
citizens within the community.
Academic Advising
Montgomery Bell Academy is committed
to providing excellent academic counseling and advice. Each student
is assigned to a faculty advisor with experience and awareness of
the school’s
curriculum. Students and parents are encouraged to contact advisors
for suggestions regarding interactions with teachers, student academic
assistance, and support in the course scheduling process. Each student
reports to his advisor every morning for daily attendance and announcements.
This daily contact affords both advisor and student the opportunity
to get to know each other well.
Academic Assistance
Montgomery Bell Academy believes that
although every student learns differently, every student can learn,
and our faculty is committed to ensuring that each student enjoys the
best possible opportunity to learn and achieve to his maximum potential.
An academic assistance team works in close collaboration with faculty
advisors to ensure that each student is supported as he learns to work
smarter in pursuit of lifelong learning skills.
Students and parents are encouraged to contact members of the academic
assistance team for support:
Mr. Alan Coverstone,

Mrs. Jody Mattison, Registrar
Mr. Terry Giffen, Director
of College Counseling
