We use The Urban Assembly Advisory Model for our Leadership Classes. We believe that every faculty member of the AFL Team serve as direct points of contact for parents and families. Leadership Advisors meet with small student groups each day during the school day to provide academic and social-emotional mentorship, create student connectedness within the school, and support the development of our eight core values within our students. Leadership Advisors also meet with parents during our parent and teacher conferences.
