In upper school, your student will experience more personal responsibility, increased academic expectations, as well as additional course offerings, athletic and extracurricular opportunities, and independence. These themes and more are discussed at length to help parents better anticipate and navigate the exciting journey ahead as part of the BA upper school family.
