A normal selection of courses would include English, mathematics, social science, laboratory science, French and possibly another language, art, and computer studies. French is required of all students every year. Classes are grouped according to ability in English, mathematics, laboratory science, and languages. Typically, more than half of the graduating class will have taken one or more of these exams. An Intensive English Program for non-native speakers of English is scheduled into the regular timetable.
Small classes facilitate individual participation and attention.
Evening study by boarders is done in their rooms, indirectly supervised by the residence staff. Students with academic difficulties have a formally supervised study hall. Academic reports are sent to parents five times a year. Written reports for each subject are included with the semester grades. Written reports are sent at other times for students who do not do as well as expected.
