(Re)Imagining the Upper School Curriculum

9th & 10th Grade: Laying the Foundations for Inquiry

Academic
The bulk of the 9th and 10th grade schedule consists of five core courses—Math, Science, English, History, Foreign Language (Spanish, French, Mandarin). Students build essential skills in critical thinking, research, and problem-solving, preparing them for more advanced coursework.

Electives
Students may also choose options within Visual Arts, Performing Arts, or Computer Science departments. These offerings allow students to explore new interests or deepen existing ones as they build a well-rounded academic experience.

11th & 12th Grade: Purposeful Choices

Academic
With guidance from College Counseling, 11th and 12th grade students make strategic choices about where and how to direct their passions within their course load.

Inquiry and Advanced Inquiry
In addition to electives, 11th and 12th graders collaborate with faculty mentors through the Inquiry and Advanced Inquiry programs. Here, they can explore their interests and develop advanced skills beyond the core curriculum. Inquiry courses meet 1–2 times a week for half credit, while Advanced Inquiries, exclusive to seniors, meet three times a week for full credit.
