Students graduating from the Upper School apply to and are accepted at selective colleges throughout the United States. Students' academic programs are enriched by involvement in the interscholastic athletic program. At both the Junior Varsity and the Varsity level, student athletes build physical stamina and the skills that make them competitive. In recent years, the school's teams have advanced far into state tournaments, in several cases winning the overall championship. Fine arts reflect another important dimension of learning in Upper School.
Students take courses in areas as diverse as photography, studio arts, theater arts, and choir.
Ensemble performances and presentations, in addition to the annual juried Art Show, provide many opportunities for student artists to demonstrate their accomplishments. The defining characteristic of Upper School is, however, the student-teacher relationship. Small classes, high standards, plenty of extra help, and an abiding belief that the most successful learners are the most active and involved learners make the Upper School years the best kind of capstone to a student's pre-collegiate education. Learning opportunities abound, shared with friends and committed teachers. Academics Grades 9-12 Course of Study English Students must take four years of English.
