Student Office Hours Grades 6 – 12

And they’re back! Every Monday between 3.15 and 4.15 teachers are in their classrooms ready to help you out.

Do you have a question about an assignment? Do you want help with Extended Essay, Personal Project or an IA? Do you want some extra practice on something you were learning in class? Do you want to discuss any part or piece of your learning? Then Student Office Hours are for you.

What do you do?

You just need to go to the classroom where your teacher is based and they will be available to talk to you and help you out. You don’t need an appointment or to ask if it is OK. How cool is that?
