Dear upper school families,
The registration process for upper school courses has begun! On Monday, February 26, students in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades attended a presentation regarding course selection and scheduling for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. This presentation covered essential details about important dates and what students can expect. You can access the presentation here.

We look forward to collaborating with you to craft a schedule that optimally supports your student's academic growth and ensures they are appropriately challenged. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about The School's academic program or the registration process.
 
Warmly,
Brian Frederick, Assistant Head of Upper School
Erin Aiston, Registrar and Database Administrator
