Academic Program

The comprehensive curriculum of the Upper School provides students thought-provoking exercises and skills necessary for a lifetime of learning. Students in all classes heighten their individual skills of inquiry and develop their team-building skills through collaborative work. Research projects are required at every grade level.

Ours is a liberal arts education. Students are required to complete courses in English, history, mathematics, science, the arts, physical education, health/ethics and a foreign language. Qualified juniors and seniors may take one of fourteen Advanced Placement, college-level courses.

To earn a diploma, a student must accumulate a minimum of 20 credits, complete 30 hours of community service, and demonstrate expertise in an area of individual choice through work on a Senior Presentation. See our Standard Pattern for courses.
