W.A.T.C.H. Advisory Program

Words. Actions. Thoughts. Character. Habits.

W.A.T.C.H. is Deerfield-Windsor School’s advisory program for middle school students, designed to support personal growth, character development, and meaningful relationships. Students meet weekly in small groups led by a faculty advisor, creating a supportive environment where they are known, valued, and encouraged.

These meetings provide opportunities for social-emotional learning, relationship building, and age-appropriate discussions that help students navigate the challenges of adolescence. At DWS, we believe a student's character is just as important as academic achievement. The person a student becomes matters as much as what they learn.

Our sixth through eighth grade curriculum is intentionally student-centered and tailored to the developmental needs of each age group. Through the W.A.T.C.H. program, students strengthen decision-making skills, build confidence, and develop the habits and character traits that prepare them for success both in and beyond the classroom. Most importantly, they benefit from the guidance of trusted adults who know them well and are invested in their growth.
