ABOUT US
| On Campus Close cooperation between students and faculty is what makes learning at the Academy 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, an internship, or to study abroad. All seniors do an extensive independent project on a subject of special interest. We live beyond the classroom - The Academy is a place for experience beyond day-to-day classroom learning. The year traditionally begins with an all school rafting trip on the Deerfield River. Among other opportunities during the school year are exchanges to Mexico, Alaska, and London, into-the-workplace internships, all-school trips to New York, and the Model United Nations in Boston. We value the arts in education - 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. You can also participate in fall or spring drama workshops. If you have a musical interest you can join chorus, study an instrument, join jazz band, or work with others in an ensemble. You will also find the arts as a part of your regular classroom work. |
