Upper School
Choice + Challenge
Choice is critical to the way we educate at Bancroft and allows Upper School students to find depth and breadth in subjects that inspire them.
Our Program
The Upper School schedule is purposefully designed with built-in periods for collaboration and community building initiatives. We make it a priority for our students to have meaningful time to engage with our faculty and each other - and to think critically and deeply.
