Humanities and Arts Program Description This challenging and innovative program is designed for students who are passionate about literature, film, history, languages, art, and/or performance. The students form a cohort in the 9th-10th grades through special enriched sections of English and Social Studies, which include special field trips, speakers, and artists-in-residence workshops. Students select a specific but flexible course of study with a Humanities or Arts Focus, and also complete an Off-Campus Experience and a Senior Independent Project. By the end of the program, students have polished oral presentation skills and are able to complete the high-level academic research and writing expected by universities.
