Curriculum
The Upper School has extensive academic offerings, tailored to meet every student's individual interests and talents. Each student has the opportunity to build his or her own path through the challenging Upper School curriculum, and numerous electives are available for students to pursue their own academic interests.
A core curriculum – consisting of English, math, science, social studies, world languages and physical education – ensures that each student is equipped with the proper tools to succeed after graduation.
Highly motivated Upper School students may also want to explore programs such as Global Scholars, independent study projects and the Indiana University Honors Program.
