Advisor Program
Each student at Fulford Academy is assigned a staff advisor. Advisors meet with their students weekly to discuss academic, social, and co-curricular progress with students. If the advisor feels it necessary, they can communicate with families to discuss concerns or achievements with families. At all reporting periods, Heads of House will include an anecdotal comment from the advisor for the family of their student. Comments will often outline success, challenges, and any strategies they are putting in place with the student for improvement.
Fulford Houses
Upon arrival at Fulford Academy, each student is placed into one of our Houses where they will work as a team in various challenges. Through activities, spirit days, and challenges during the year, Houses will come together to actively participate and work together with the intention of fostering teamwork and leadership skills.
Community Involvement
Fulford works in cooperation with several different institutions in Merrickville to provide volunteer opportunities for boarding students. Volunteering is a great way for Fulford students to give back to the community and engage with locals to get a true Canadian cultural experience.
Athletics and Clubs
Fulford competes against local high schools in the Leeds and Grenville Secondary School Athletics Association. Our athletic program is an integral part of our Student Life environment and gives students the opportunity to travel around Merrickville, Brockville, Ottawa and the surrounding area to compete in organized sports.
Our students gain time-management skills and realize the importance of commitment and working together towards a common goal.
After School Activities
Students may choose from a variety of activities and trips. The outings range from educational experiences to those that are purely for fun. All activities give students the opportunity to interact with each other and improve their communication and social skills.
