Advanced Placement courses are offered in English, U.S. history, European history, chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, computer science, Latin, French, and Spanish. No credit is given for physical education courses since they are required by New York State law. Students carry a minimum of five courses per term. Evening study periods, held in student residences, are supervised by dorm masters. Students with academic difficulty have a formally supervised study hall.
Teachers are available to give students extra help at any time agreeable to both.
Reports are sent to parents three times per term. In addition to academic grades, the School utilizes a unique effort system to rank students based on overall effort in many aspects of school life, including academics, athletics, clubs, and dormitory life. A student's privileges are then tied to his overall effort ranking. This program is designed to work in conjunction with the School's philosophy of encouraging each student to work toward his own personal potential. The Reading Program, open to a maximum of 50 students, is initiated in the ninth and tenth grades.
