LIBRARY LEARNING COMMONS
The AHN Library Media Center provides both group and one-on-one instruction to all students in the areas of library, research, and related computer skills. It provides online access to other school libraries and subscribes to various online research databases, with a staff ready to instruct students in their use.
The library media center is open throughout the school day as a place where students can go for quiet study and research.
PANTHERVISION BROADCAST STUDIO
Through the generous support of alumnae and friends, AHN is proud to introduce the PantherVision Studio, a student-run live-streaming broadcasting program.
As part of the program, members of the Communications Club live-stream our morning announcements.
MATH LAB
We have a math teacher available to assist students with homework and math problems, as well as test reviews and preparation.
Help with SAT preparation is also offered.
THE WRITING CENTER
Completing high school writing assignments can often be difficult. That’s why we have a special Writing Center with peer tutors who have advanced training as writing teachers.
Students are encouraged to sign up for individual appointments.
For students who need further assistance in English courses, we have writing center peers with whom students may meet on an as needed basis.
THE LEARNING WORKSHOP
In consultation with the administration, some students may qualify for the extra assistance provided by our certified Special Education teacher. Our Learning Workshop staff provides individual instruction in study skills and time management, as well as assistance with homework, and, when required, testing modifications.
Students may use these services by either meeting for regularly scheduled sessions or on an as-needed basis.
