The academic curriculum at Rocky Hill School is geared to meet the ever-changing and fast-paced demands of the 21st century; from the personal, experiential and nurturing environment in the Lower School; through the adolescent, skills-centered program in the Middle School; to the multi-faceted, “anytime, anywhere” teaching and learning model, a seamless integration of Harkness-based discussion and tablet laptop technology in the Upper School. The cross-campus wireless connectivity promotes dialogue throughout the academic community by providing a myriad of resources, live access to people and events, and the opportunity for students and teachers alike to respond to and share newly acquired information. The curriculum serves to provide each student with diversity, challenge, and focus in a dynamic and engaged educational environment.
Students are required to complete a series of courses which fulfill general requirements in our rigorous college preparatory program. In the Upper School, students are also encouraged to pursue honors level courses as well as advanced placement courses. Students may also select from a variety of electives, which allows for personal enrichment and growth. Discovery and learning thus becomes a life-long pursuit. As an academic community, Rocky Hill students strive to achieve equality and harmony: they build dialogue, they build relationships, and they build their identities, fulfilling the motto, Know Thyself. Through the curriculum, students constantly reaffirm their self-knowledge in their commitment to each other, to their natural environment, and to their global neighbors.
