CTK Students are expected to study every school night for at least two hours reviewing the material from the day and preparing their assignments for the next school day. Students are expected to use all available resources to enhance their education (teachers, tutors, academic support staff, libraries, etc.)
Academic Center – Faculty tutors are available in the Academic Center for every subject area, Tuesday-Friday, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Homework help and makeup testing are also available in the Academic Center.

The student’s advisor maintains a quiet Study Hall during the period, meets with each student weekly to review progress, and makes appropriate referrals for struggling students.
