DESCRIPTION
A coeducational, college preparatory school enrolling 545
boarders and 255 day students in grades 9-PG. Set on a 700-
acre campus that is listed in the National Register of Historic
Places; the School offers more than 300 courses in 11
disciplines, including a full complement of Advanced Placement
courses. A distinguishing feature is the House system;
students live in Houses of approximately 30 residents. House
identity is maintained through separate dining rooms in the
dining center and athletic teams that compete intramurally.
Each house has its own student government and traditions, and
as students move through the different levels, they assume
increased responsibility for management of themselves and their
house. The conference table teaching style allows for
approximately a dozen students, along with the instructor, to
sit around an oval table, thus challenging students to be
prepared and to participate in the discussion. Numerous clubs
and organizations provide activities such as publications, the
arts, outdoor education, and debate. The School fields
interscholastic and intramural teams and offers a lifetime sports program.
