Faculty are Advent’s strongest asset. We prioritize teacher growth and foster teacher leadership through dedicated time and resources.
Professional Development
Advent offers many opportunities for professional development. From school-wide professional development training to committees and task forces, the faculty grow both personally and professionally.
Beyond campus, there are opportunities for enrichment nationally and internationally.
The Assistant Head of School works with teaching teams and individual teachers to chart their growth throughout the school year.
