Academic Program Overview

Our freshman and sophomore curriculum develops a broad foundation of skills, using an integrated approach that emphasizes the interrelationships between traditional academic disciplines. As students advance to their junior and senior years, the program is increasingly driven by their individual interests and talents. Curricular focus on the interrelationship between science, technology, ethics, and world religions prepares our students to meet the challenges of their future in the 21st century world.

Students, engaged and mentored by dedicated teachers, are encouraged in their mastery of the important skills
of critical thinking, interpretation, and communication across many mediums. Specific course offerings each year at the Bay School ultimately reflect the expertise and interests of our outstanding faculty. Therefore, this
document is meant to serve as an overview of the 2007-2008 curriculum. A sample course progression
outlining all four years of study follows the Senior Projects description.
