The Academy at Charlemont Curriculum Overview Student Work Academics Close cooperation between students and faculty is what makes learning at the Academy special. We work together to make learning interesting and rewarding. Small class size allows for more personal attention from your instructors. The Core Curriculum includes mathematics, history, literature, the arts, science, ancient and modern foreign language, and computer literacy. We learn in many different ways - Not everything we learn takes place inside the classroom.
Some students choose to do a semester or a year abroad, or to do foreign travel.
Sophomores do an internship in March in a business or profession that interests them. All seniors do an extensive independent project on a subject of special interest. The year traditionally begins with an all school rafting trip on the Deerfield River. If your interest is in acting, you can take a role in the big winter production that might be a play by Shakespeare or an original musical comedy. Maybe you would rather learn how to work the lights or be a stage manager.
