How are students supervised?
Students are closely supervised 24 hours a day. Our staff includes faculty advisors, who serve as educational facilitators and chaperones, security personnel, operations personnel, as well as the program director and support staff. Faculty advisors perform bus counts at all site experiences and room checks every evening. Hall monitors are employed to ensure that students remain in their rooms and to provide support for students who become ill or have an emergency at night.
The safety and supervision of our students is of paramount importance. Students are carefully supervised throughout the program by LeadAmerica faculty and staff. Resident Advisors and administrative staff reside on-site and are available to students at any time. Students are not permitted to leave campus on their own. Transportation during the program is by air-conditioned chartered motor coach. During certain field trips and off-site activities students may have limited supervision. This means students have freedom to visit specific sites within designated areas without direct supervision, utilizing designated check-in and check-out procedures (e.g. – Capitol Hill visits, Faneuil Hall, Miracle Mile, etc.).
