Planning the Next Year

Each winter, at the start of the course selection process, we offer a series of Planning the Next Year events for parents of rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each event will occur at 6:30 pm in the Upper School Crossroads. 

• Planning the Junior Year for parents of sophomores, will be tonight, Thursday, January 18
• Planning the Sophomore Year, for parents of freshmen, will be on Thursday, January 25

These evenings will provide an overview of the academic and co-curricular opportunities available in the year ahead. They will include presentations by the Upper School head, the Upper School director of curriculum and academics, the grade-level dean, and representatives from the College Counseling Office. Parents will hear about the course trajectories in each department and learn more about the course application and appeal processes.

Students will receive an abbreviated version of the same presentation during the academic day in a class meeting. Following each evening session, the slides and handouts from the presentation will be posted on CampusNET. If you have any questions about these programs, please reach out to Tory Virchow.
