  • Everyone takes one core course: English (reading and writing), or Math (algebra 1 or geometry), or ESL (level 1 or 2). These meet for two hours each morning, five days per week. These courses can be taken either as accelerated enrichment for those seeking to jump ahead, or retrospectively for those seeking or requiring remedial work. Up to a full year's academic credit will be granted for those who demonstrate mastery.
  • Everyone takes two elective courses: Computer Graphic Art and Design, Experiential Science, Video Production, or Instructional Support. These meet for one hour each morning.
  • Everyone participates in an outdoor activity built around skills training and preparation. These include: hiking and wilderness survival techniques; canoeing on lakes, ponds, flat and white water; kayaking on lakes, flat and white water, and at the seacoast; and rock climbing and rappelling on our indoor rock wall and at various locations in New Hampshire. Additionally, there is a theater arts program. These meet for two to three hours on or near campus each afternoon, five days per week and for off-campus field trips on Saturdays.
  • Everyone participates in recreation, games, and social activities in the evening. On three nights per week there are fitness, wellness, and court sports activities in our spectacular athletics facility.
