"Community"
The Sophomore Year
As the class nearly doubles in the sophomore year, building class unity will be an essential focus in this year.
Supplementing that idea, the sophomore curriculum will focus on the importance of each student’s role in the multiple communities that make up the world in which they live. From family to school to country to world, each student will have a chance to explore what it means to be a valued resident in their many communities. |
Essential Questions: Who are we? What are our roles in this community?

From the Form DeansThe 4th form welcomes new and returning students with the core goal of unifying reflections on the self and “who am I,” with a deeper understanding of how each individual impacts the community at large. Areas of focus include: awareness of self and healthy relationships, the role of courage in building community, and the influence of technology and social media on individual and communal well-being.
