Mentoring at ASA

Teachers are the heart and soul of a good education and are essential instruments for creating positive environments for deeper learning. Our mentors engage students in a dynamic exchange of thoughts and reasoning so that they will discover something they did not know before inspiring them to wonder and dare to learn more. This is where the joy of learning and wisdom lies. American Seekers Academy depends on its mentors to revive the admiration of American values and civic virtues that inspire emboldened, life long learners, seekers and achievers. Teaching students to seek and understand the principles that founded our nation will build good character, deepen their faith and preserve liberty.

Statement of Appropriate Conduct

By enrolling as a Mentor, Aide or other in the American Seekers Academy Private Membership Association, you agree to maintaining respectful dialogue and appropriate decorum with other members, students and faculty. You assume the responsibility and safety of children in your classroom and make yourself available to other students when possible. At ASA, it is necessary to be direct and professional at all times, lead by example and arrive fully prepared and well-informed of the materials being taught. Discipline is left to the parents and the director of teaching should be notified of disruptive behavior immediately so that parents can assess their child’s needs.
