The freshmen advisory program focuses on helping students adapt to high school in general and Metropolitan Business Academy. Students begin learning about the Six Comer Pathways, and they create plans to help themselves grow as individuals in each of the six areas throughout the year. Students use the freshmen advisory guide during the seventy minute advisory period each week. Teachers are allowed to come up with their own lessons, as long as they cover the same topics each week.
Students complete three Student Led Conferences each year. To prepare for the conferences, they spend two advisory periods working on their freshmen student success plans.
