Junior Year students gain a love for American Literature and make connections to historical contexts. In order to see the correlation between time and craft, students will read The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. **Students are encouraged to purchase the books whenever possible so that they can take detailed notes and annotations within the margins of the text.

SENOR YEAR Senior Year students have a lot more choice in their courses. Therefore, we recommend that students focus over the summer on College Applications. A fantastic read for students AND parents is Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be, by Frank Bruni. Bruni speaks of the application process Do's & Don'ts and that sometimes there is more value in a great education than in choosing a school with a big name.
