School Notes:
- The Ross educational experience aims to impart to young people a 21st century skill set and the inspiration that will motivate them to keep their minds actively engaged in lifelong learning. Ross School offers a dynamic environment where students take an active role in their learning. In addition to core curricular classes, which include English, cultural history, mathematics, science, technology, arts and languages, students are encouraged to take more responsibility for their own learning by exploring their interests and passions through elective courses, independent study and Winter Intersession. A Senior Project of the student’s design represents the culmination of this personal exploration.
- Electives vary each term and range from African Drumming to World Religions to Neuroscience, with year-long and single-term options. Students in good standing whose interests are not found in the offered electives, or who wish to pursue more in-depth studies in a particular area, may propose independent study under the tutelage of a faculty mentor.
- Winter Intersession is an opportunity for High School students and teachers to work intensively on group and individual projects during three weeks between Winter and Spring Terms. Classes and programs in a wide variety of subjects are offered to expose students to in-depth study, new interests, possible college/career paths, volunteer opportunities and recreational pursuits. Many of these occur in conjunction with travel, both abroad and within the U.S. Independent study projects may also be proposed for Winter Intersession.
