If you enter Brother Martin’s Formation Center anytime between 7:15 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily, you would see a number of things happening: students completing homework/ studying, making up quizzes/tests, or receiving assistance from students or teachers. The Center’s main purpose is to support student achievement. Some students attend due to poor grades while others just need a place to study and prepare for their day. Whatever the reason, the students can count on assistance from others.
The Formation Center’s aspect of personal attention is what makes Brother Martin such a special place. One initiative that has grown greatly this year is the pairing of struggling students with National Honor Society members for academic tutoring. Mrs. Jill Gomez, Formation Director and Coordinator of the Formation Center, believes that students often learn best from their peers. Whether a student is giving or receiving assistance, they are learning valuable lessons about life that can’t just be taught in an academic subject. They are learning not just the subject matter, but also about compassion, patience and humility.
