Summer Reading List
An exemplary program, designed to meet the needs of
the individual, the Upper School program allows extensive
opportunities for appropriate student placement in honors
and advanced placement (AP) classes. For the 9th-12th
grade levels, the program is further complemented by
academic offerings at our coordinate schools. Gilman
and Bryn Mawr. Seniors may self-design an off-campus
internship for academic credit as a means to explore
career options and pursue their interests in a "hands-on"
fashion.
Every Upper School student at RPCS is assigned a faculty
advisor at the beginning of 9th grade and then can choose
her own advisor in the 10th grade. Over the four years,
advisee groups from the same grade level meet regularly,
in both formal and informal ways, with their faculty
advisor to discuss academic and non-academic issues.
A selection of academic related opportunities offered
at the Upper School level this past academic year included:
-
Foreign exchange opportunities in France, Spain
and Russia
-
Trips to the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters
Art Gallery
-
Lectures by Baltimore's Mayor Schmoke, Congressman
Elijah Cummings, and Director of the Enoch Pratt
Free Library Carla Hayden
-
A trip to Physics Day for physics students
at Hershey Park in PA
-
An annual Human Relations Day featuring
lectures and discussions on topics ranging from
civil rights and violence in our society to human
communication
-
A community service requirement for all Upper School
students
If you have specific questions about the Upper School
experience, please feel free to contact the Head
of the Upper School.
