In our teaching of the adolescent, we appeal to the awakened power of independent thinking and judgement. Mindful of the educational principle that all teaching must contribute to a more thorough knowledge of life, we offer a rich, comprehensive curriculum throughout all the high school years.

Out of a matrix of purposeful activity and earnest emotional involvement, clear thinking crystallizes in the teenager. Class teachers give way to specialist teachers who lead the students through a rich and varied array of main lesson studies ranging from thermodynamics to Shakespeare, from trigonometry to the history of the modern world.

The curriculum of the high school evolves to accommodate the adolescent's emerging capacity for analytical thought. All subjects are taught by specialists who expect their students to exhibit an increasing degree of independent thinking, mature expression and responsible action.
 
Students continue to compose their own Main Lesson workbooks, which now express more original thought and design. The honing of the cognitive thinking power through the academic subjects, such as mathematics, science, literature, history, geography and languages, is complemented with the development of the creative faculties through the arts of music, painting, modelling, drama and eurythmy.

Creative imagination is schooled through disciplined artistic experience to become an integral component of intelligence necessary for the enjoyment of culture.

Central to upper school work is the experience and practice in the visual and musical arts, and a variety of craft lessons ideally suited to the young adult's stage of development. The performing arts are an integral part of the curriculum, thus providing the teenager with opportunity for creative expression, self-discipline and demanding activity.
