The Upper School program develops confident, well-informed young women who advocate with conviction for themselves and others. Across the disciplines, students are encouraged to take intellectual risks and ask probing questions to draw out connections in their learning and develop critical thinking that supports real-world problem-solving and effective oral and written communication. The program’s academic offerings include rigorous required courses as well as dynamic electives. Online and off-campus learning is available through One Schoolhouse, collaboration with scientific research centers, and study-travel opportunities.
