学术支持和 EIS 计划

为每位学生提供引人入胜的个性化学术支持是维拉诺瓦建立学校学术成功声誉的原因。我们的学生得到最好的指导和支持。为了监督我们的住校学生在课堂内外的学业进度,周日至周四下午 3:00 至晚上 9:00 都有资格认证的教师在课堂内外提供服务。教师的每日办公时间和每晚的自习大厅为住校学生提供了获得额外帮助的充足机会。我们的驻校教师提供学习监督,协助辅导,并鼓励我们的住校学生养成良好的学习习惯。他们还跟踪学生的成绩,与教师和辅导人员沟通,制定计划以帮助陷入困境的学生取得学业成功。除了学校在 Plus Portals 上定期提供的信息外,还希望询问学业进展的家长,我们的寄宿学术协调员也可为他们提供帮助。

Prior to admission, international students are evaluated using an English proficiency test such as the TOEFL iBT or Duolingo and their academic history to determine their proficiency level in English. In order to meet individual needs and promote successful outcomes, student progress is carefully monitored by the EIS Program Coordinator.  Students are evaluated continuously to ensure progress and may be "exited" from the EIS Program when they meet a variety of criteria* to determine their English proficiency. With a long history of educating international students, Villanova makes English language learning a top priority. Additional support is in place for EIS students, including a Resident Life Academic Support Coordinator, English Immersion with Support Coordinator, four full-time resident staff, and teacher-led study halls with additional tutors available. 

*The criteria for exiting the EIS Program are: A score of 550 or higher on the Villanova institutional TOEFL, a score of 5 on the Villanova-administered TWE, above-average grades in all academic subjects, evidence of effective use of spoken English, and approval of the ESL Coordinator and the Assistant Headmaster for Academics.
