| Curriculum at its best recognizes and nurtures a variety of modes of learning within a rich academic context. |
 |
-
Our academic offerings include a variety of courses that are appropriate and specialized to reach all our students. Courses are offered at different levels to address students at all levels of learning.
-
The Upper School Staff is trusted to teach to their interests and passions. We have a teacher-developed curriculum. Teachers set the appropriate curriculum for their discipline and offer elective courses (six per year) that speak to their specific outside interests.
-
The trimester schedule lends itself to variety. We have a schedule with six shorter periods (45 minutes, four times a week) and two longer periods (75 minutes, 2 times a week) that allow more in-depth engagement in a topic.The US Learning Coordinator teaches a half time schedule and works with students, staff and parents on particular learning difficulties the rest of the day. He organizes in-service opportunities for the staff to learn more about particular challenges (ADHD) and provides space for students to take extended time on tests and get the extra help they need.
