While fostering broad exposure in all disciplines, it offers students opportunities to discover and pursue special areas of interest. All students are expected to enter fully into the educational process by making academic responsibilities their first commitment. Each student's schedule is planned individually for the three-term academic year in consultation with an adviser, a dean, and, at the appropriate time, a college counselor. Course levels are selected on the basis of academic preparedness, ability, and talent in each subject area, not necessarily by age or grade levels. Each of our six academic departments offers traditional core courses as well as a variety of electives.
All departments have opportunities for honors, advanced placement work, and directed studies.
