The goal of the academic program is to cultivate intellectual curiosity and develop skills that will be valuable to students throughout their lives. Daily homework assignments play a fundamental role in helping students understand course material. For that reason, the daily schedule allows students to study undisturbed through required study periods each evening except Saturday. Students are expected to carefully prepare for classes, and their preparation is tested through discussion, classroom exercises and exams. Masters are available to students each day during consultation periods that are part of the daily schedule and outside of class by appointment.
Faculty members encourage students to seek additional help whenever they encounter difficulties.
In addition to serving the needs and abilities of individual students, the curriculum also provides for their special interests and talents. Our program is well-balanced, frequently reviewed, and revised when necessary to serve student needs. Parents receive academic reports six times a year and faculty adviser comments four times a year. The progress of each student is thoroughly reviewed by individual teachers and faculty advisers at the end of each trimester prior to sending reports home. Sectioning Students are sectioned according to ability in most departments.
