Academics - Upper School
Emphasizing breadth of learning, depth of mastery and real-world application of skills, the Upper School curriculum offers students a rigorous, broadly-based liberal arts education. The curriculum includes 14 Advanced Placement courses and honors level courses in all major disciplines. Critical thinking, strong writing and quantitative reasoning skills, and attention to the moral and ethical underpinnings of intellectual inquiry are stressed at every grade level. Within the parameters of our graduation requirements, students have significant latitude to design their own course of study. Many explore subjects of special interest in significant depth, either through advanced courses or through an extraordinarily rich selection of electives. The MFS Honors Program, for eleventh and twelfth graders, emphasizes rigor, creativity, independence and action, challenging students who wish to undertake the most rigorous and wide-ranging curriculum the school has to offer. Upper School programs blend traditional classroom learning with action-oriented experiential activities. All students must complete 50 hours of community service, and many participate in service trips to New Orleans, the Florida Everglades, Mexico, Nicaragua and Tanzania. Teachers make effective use of area resources, often bringing classes to museums, exhibits and special events. All students also participate annually in Intensive Learning, a weeklong off-campus collaborative educational experience. The result is students who head off to college prepared to "do well and do good." Learn more about MFS Upper School - Read the Curriculum Guide
