Program Offerings Students in each program are fully integrated into all athletic, extracurricular, and social activities on campus. All courses stress skills in reading, writing, computation, and analytical thought. Students develop their ability in language skills, including writing, speaking, listening, and reading. Students take three courses on the formation of political ideas, the foundation and workings of the American government, and current domestic issues. A trip to Washington, D.C., is a highlight of the program, as students meet members of Congress, lobbyists, and journalists.
Credit is granted by the student's school.
Doing experiments, building models, developing and testing hypotheses, and using technology are integral components of the curriculum. This four-week program is an opportunity for students to discover the natural and logical relationship between math and science. Enrollment is limited to 30 girls. These two-week workshops use both the critical and creative writing methods to instill confidence, develop understanding, and suggest strategies to improve writing skills. Class discussions, exercises, and individual conferences develop a supportive, cohesive group in which students can produce their best writing.
