Academic Research Program
Academic Research Program
The Academic Research Program (ARP) is the cornerstone of the upper school experience and is designed to promote independent and sustained inquiry. In ARP, students learn how to develop an original research topic, break it down into concrete steps, and problem-solve to fulfill their goals. They learn critical tools such as gathering and analyzing data, reading and annotating scholarly articles, interviewing experts and research subjects, and presenting their findings in writing and in person. Throughout, the program focuses on the process of learning rather than the end product, and it builds a foundation for students to pursue their passions in college and beyond with rigor and self-sufficiency.
