At Long Trail School, the Upper School curriculum offers a rigorous academic program to challenge every student. We encourage students to take risks, to engage deeply in learning, and to become independent thinkers to prepare young people not only for success in college, but also for lives of meaning and fulfillment.

Throughout their upper school experience, students are challenged to delve more expansively into research, articulate their arguments, more precisely, and engage more fearlessly with the ideas and opportunities that excite them the most. Students at Long Trail School take intellectual risks, pursue personal passions, rise to challenges, and assume ownership over their educational experiences. Students are encouraged to bring their authentic voices and appreciation for diverse perspectives to the conversation. Faculty and staff facilitate each individual’s growth, ensuring they are ready to navigate the world as a global citizen.
