Academic & College Guidance

Upper School Academic & College Guidance

The high school years are critical in the development of each student as he/she develops life-long beliefs, habits, and practices. Students need support from parents, teachers, school counselors, and church ministers to grow in faith, find God’s purpose for their lives, and the steps they should take to fulfill this purpose. The Academic Guidance Office exists to provide not only academic support and guidance for students, but also guidance in identifying strengths, abilities, and interests as well as potential careers, college majors, and colleges that fit the individual student. Standardized testing as well as a battery of personal assessments are administered through the academic guidance office. Students and parents are invited to stop by or schedule appointments as needed.

Tutoring & Academic Support

Tutoring Policy

McKinney Christian Academy recognizes that the discharge of its responsibility to provide a thorough and efficient system of education for each child in McKinney Christian Academy may require special help for some pupils beyond the regular classroom program. Tutorial instruction shall be interpreted to mean individualized instruction additional to, and in support of, regular classroom instruction.

In order to accomplish this, each teaching staff member shall assist assigned pupils in the remediation of individual learning difficulties. Tutoring times for the upper school will be at the discretion of the teacher during the class day, before and/or after school at a convenient time for both the student and teacher alike.

To avoid placing a teacher in a position where he/she may have a conflict of interest, teachers shall not tutor, for a fee, pupils enrolled in their classes or upon whose evaluation or assignment they may be called upon to pass. Nor shall any employee of McKinney Christian Academy make a commitment to perform services for extra pay when he/she has been instrumental in recommending the need for those services.

Teachers shall not tutor any pupil for pay during regular working hours.
