Academics at USM
In Upper School, students actively engage in learning.
Seminars, small-group projects, and challenging assignments
help students develop independence of thought and work habits
to prepare them for college and beyond. Our dedicated faculty
challenge all learners to stretch their understanding, their
imagination, and their knowledge. Our students take a college-preparatory
curriculum which focuses on analytical reasoning and critical
thinking. The Upper School program includes courses in each
of the core academic areas - English, mathematics, history,
science, and foreign language - and in the arts, computer
science, and physical education.
