Assemblies and Community Connections
The entire community gathers twice weekly for assemblies and Community Connections. Assemblies are a space in which we showcase student work, take care of school business, and build school spirit. We use Community Connections time to come together, dive deeper into questions and issues facing our community (including diversity, the political landscape, the media, learning differences, ethics, and the honor code), strengthen student voices, cultivate student leadership, and work to improve our community. Periodically, student clubs or the Archer Student Council will organize meetings on a particular topic of interest.
Spanish-Speaking Family Night
Every year, Archer hosts a dinner and evening program for Spanish-speaking families to connect and learn more about Archer’s programs. Spanish language faculty work with Latina student leaders from the Hermanas Unidas club to organize the evening around topics related to Hispanic culture as well as academic and extracurricular life at Archer. Presentations are conducted in Spanish. Beyond providing an opportunity for our Spanish-speaking families to meet one another, the evening also affords families the chance to connect with key administrators and Spanish-speaking staff to facilitate future communication.
Peer Mentoring Program
The Peer Mentoring Program serves to support the transition of new 9th grade students into the Archer community. At the end of each school year, incoming 9th grade students are matched with returning 9th grade students based on background and shared interests. Mentors meet with their mentee at the beginning of the summer and connect periodically before school begins. Mentors welcome new students to join a variety of social opportunities, serve as a point person for questions, and overall ensure that students feel welcome and included.
The Archer School for Girls admits students of any race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation or other legally protected status in its hiring or in the administration of its educational policies and programs, admissions policies, financial aid programs or other school-administered programs.
The Archer School for Girls’ mission is to educate students in an environment specifically designed for girls. As such, the school will consider any candidate for admission who identifies as a girl. Once admitted to Archer, all students in good academic standing who abide by Archer’s code of conduct and who meet requirements for graduation will be eligible to receive an Archer diploma, regardless of any change in sexual identity or other legally protected status.
