COre: The Stuart Hall Experience

Academic Core

Stuart Hall’s Mastery Learning philosophy embodies high quality instructional practices as our students are taught the essential skills necessary to lead rich lives of academic curiosity and exploration. In addition, we integrate real-world authentic learning experiences through the Staunton is Our Campus initiative and our Co-Curricular programming. The Office of Learning Support and Well-Being works with faculty in and out of the classroom to promote student centric instruction and to support faculty as they assess and refine their instruction in service of progress. Students learn study techniques and integrate them into the classroom on a daily basis so they are fully prepared for the rigors of college academics.
