Academics at Averett are very different than high school. While our goal is to see all students succeed, new students must understand that effort must be put into the academic course work to succeed. Students that received an Individual Education Plan (IEP) in school are encouraged to submit a copy to the Dean of Students. This will ensure that any required additional services are taken care of promptly to ensure success in the classroom.
