This cutting-edge upper school program is a two-year odyssey in humanities education that blends a broad curriculum of texts with field trips, abundant guest lectures, and a mandate for multimedia literacy, all of which are fine-tuned to prepare students for the rigors of 21st century higher education.

During sophomore year, connect with scholars, artists, and professionals who act as guides through coursework devoted to the study of human imagination. As a junior, participate in the Humanities Capstone year, which features a focused field of study that allows full immersion into global culture through the lens of history, literature, and art. This program provides a unique opportunity to interview some of the finest minds in contemporary culture—and then share those perspectives via video and podcast platforms.

More than a class, the Humanities Research Program will help prepare students for the rewarding challenges and delights that await after high school and in the world beyond.
