Attitude toward schoolwork, students, our job, and tasks is everything!

Building confidence in students helps them to have confidence and motivation.

Understanding the students are paying customers is important as well as understanding they all come from unique backgrounds that effect their outlook on the future.

Students thrive when they are given extra attention.

Several things can be done to increase retention and one of them is a mentoring program.

Hyping up the students for graduation is a great motivating factor.

Mentoring offers a more personal experience for a student with ta tailored fit of personalities and experience.

A student decides as early as their admissions interview whether or not their commitment to staying in school will be kept.

The first week impressions are very important and impactful on the student and their perception of the school.

The more we can form relationships with the students, the better our retention will be.
