In the daily athletics period, children receive systematic instruction in several sports to develop motor and coordination skills. Lower School students also attend art, music, reading, and library classes. Foreign language instruction begins in prekindergarten. Boys in grades 5-8 learn reading, expository writing, grammar, geography, mathematics, and science in the Middle School. Instruction in art, vocal and instrumental music, performing arts, library, and computers is regularly scheduled.
Students work closely with a homeroom adviser.
In fifth and seventh grades, the boys experience a modified wilderness adventure in northern New England. Sixth graders visit Boston, and the eighth-grade U.S. history class journeys to Washington, D.C., each year to observe the federal government in action. The Upper School academic program is college preparatory. Students must earn 19 credits in order to graduate. Remaining credits may be acquired through electives.
