Upper School students have a pivotal year in Grade 8. An
interdisciplinary curriculum from previous grades begins to include more
rigorous examinations, increasingly complex projects and academic
electives. Every student is now ready for leadership positions.
Students have learned to think both within and beyond the classroom,
understanding the rewards of service, and the importance of character.Committed
to a core curriculum...
The Upper School curriculum offers courses in English, history, foreign
languages, mathematics and science, as well as music, drama, photography, art
and physical education. We guide students toward intellectual and emotional
growth, but also realize the importance of solid standardized test scores. SAT
preparation courses and an individualized college placement process assure
that every student takes full advantage of the opportunities that
Hewitt affords. ...and a curriculum of constant change
With small class sizes, abundant personal attention and a responsive
administration, Hewitt course offerings continually adapt to the changing needs
of our Upper School students. Creating an AP course in music - or an
independent study in mathematics - can be achieved as quickly as student and
teacher can identify an opportunity. As individualized programs
engage student interest, an array of electives enhances the core
curriculum.
Cutting-edge technology for everyday use
Every student in the Upper School is equipped with a Wireless Dell Laptop
computer. Building on familiarity with computers in Lower and Middle Schools,
the Upper School student understands the intricacies of the digital age. From
essential applications to advanced computer science courses, every student
helps make Hewitt a true "laptop school."
