The Upper School

The last two years of school are marked by the foremost goal of qualifying for matriculation at university. Although the traditional course structure changes, community life, in the form of joint activities in fixed mentor groups, maintains a high degree of importance in the lives of our students. 

Campus life remains a focal point and helps to guide students as they complete their last two years on the way to the Abitur.  

On-campus community service remains a requirement and is carried out conscientiously by our students. Upperclassmen continue to take on responsibility for the younger members of the community in the form of tutoring, mentoring or athletic coaching.

In grade twelve accomplished students are presented awards and distinctions to honor their achievements, including a two-week Japan scholarship or the highly sought-after Duke University scholarship.
