History, Science, Social Studies, and English are studied in an integrated way through what we call “Earth and Human Studies”. In each of our three terms a central theme is chosen to explore in depth. This theme is considered through a wide variety of lenses: scientifically (biology, chemistry, physics, Earth sciences) historically, sociologically, culturally (literature, the arts, religion), morally/philosophically. At the end of each term, each student researches, writes, illustrates and presents a major independent project based on a topic related to the overarching theme.
