ACADEMIC PROGRAM

The academic program at North Shore Country Day balances intellectual rigor and skill mastery with a highly supportive and accessible faculty. Our teachers promote creativity, intellectual courage, curiosity, and ethics in learning. This balanced approach allows us to engage a broad range of learners across disciplines in an authentic and purpose-driven approach to academics.

NSCD's curriculum is highly responsive to the interests, abilities, and aspirations of our students and the unique strengths of our faculty, which means on any given day, a student may go from deep reading and discussion in one class to a collaborative activity in the next. A North Shore education is marked by the opportunity to engage with a range of topics through various approaches, ensuring that all types of learners are appropriately challenged and supported in the learning process through multiple modes of assessment.
