What Makes Us Unique
Humanities, an interdisciplinary curriculum that brings together English, history, religion and philosophy, provides a four-year experience rich in student-centered learning and interactive discussion in classes that are taught Harkness style. Humanities is a space for personal and academic exploration, fostering an understanding of self, community, the natural world and the divine. The Living in Community program, or LINC, is designed to help provide students with the tools to grow as knowledgable, responsible, caring, and contributing members of society. Six dedicated instructors teach LINC classes for Third and Fourth Form students that delve into topics such as cultural competency, diversity and inclusivity, personal identity, sexuality, drugs and alcohol, gender, and wellness. Fifth and Sixth Form students participate in yearlong LINC seminars and twice a year design and lead LINC Day programming for the full School community.
