Griffin School Curriculum
The core curriculum at The Griffin School includes a broad foundation in English language and literature, fine arts, foreign language, history, mathematics, and science. The arts are an emphasis for the whole program and are cross- referenced throughout the curriculum - for more on Griffin fine arts programs, see our Arts section. All students are required to take at least one year of Latin to provide an understanding of modern connections to ancient language and constructs.

To round out our students' educational experience, we require physical health activities and service learning throughout their time at The Griffin School. We also provide a series of classes that help students understand their own neuro-developmental profile and learn skills in organization and time management, critical reading, group dialog, standardized test-taking and college preparation.

As a culmination of the high school experience, seniors create a thesis project that has a broad scope and personal significance for them. This research-based and interdisciplinary project is an original expression of each student's intellectual interests and accumulated skills and talents.
