Academics

McCallie offers 18 AP and 6 post-AP courses.

McCallie students have extensive access to tutoring through multiple support systems. Our Learning Center, located on the second floor of the Academic Building and open from 7:45 am to 5:00 pm, is staffed by a director and four academic counselors who provide help to all students in almost all subjects during free periods or after school on either a walk-in or appointment basis.

For students needing more specialized help beyond what teachers and Learning Center staff can provide, we coordinate professional tutors who are formally vetted and work closely with the school. These tutors meet students in the Learning Center during the day and in the dining hall during evenings. There is an additional cost for this service.

McCallie's schedule includes "Backwork" sessions multiple times a week during the school day. This is a time period when students can seek help directly from their teachers without any conflicting school obligations. Comprehensive review classes for PSAT, SAT, and ACT preparation as well as reading speed and comprehension courses are offered throughout the school year.

At McCallie, seeking help is encouraged and expected. We believe in partnering with students rather than leaving them to struggle alone, and we have multiple safety nets in place to ensure every student can succeed academically.
