THE UPPER SCHOOL
- GRADES 9 THROUGH 12
The Upper School program is designed to promote both the academic
and personal progress of the students. While the program reflects
an abiding commitment to liberal education, it also ensures that
students are trained to express themselves lucidly and to think
deeply. There is great breadth represented in the curricular offerings
and frequent consideration of big ideas, but the School is committed
also to the honing of elemental academic skills in each boy. Students
are encouraged to pursue various disciplines and modes of inquiry
and to take risks. Neither, though, are they dilettantes. In fact
the program encourages applying learning directly to real-life situations
and developing in our students a regard for the life of the mind,
an ability to make important intellectual connections, and a curiosity
about the world that will remain life-long passions.
University School
maintains a wide variety of elective course in many areas. Unique
courses include Computer Aided Design (CAD), computer graphics,
and an outdoor education unit. Additionally, boys have a chance
to work with our trout hatchery and maple sugar operation.
