Majoring in High School
Cavellier, Matt
Independent School, v76 n2 Win 2017
For decades now, Shattuck-St. Mary's School (Minnesota) has worked tirelessly to support students as they pursue their passions. In particular, the Centers of Excellence--nine programs in which students can dive deeply into areas of personal interest--allow students to fulfill the traditionally rigorous preparatory school curriculum while simultaneously spending quality, focused time immersed in an experience tailored to their talents and interests. In this article, the author describes the development of a new program, The Major, joining the other Centers of Excellence at Shattuck-St. Mary's School in Minnesota.
