Junior Studies

Junior Studies is an introduction to Exeter as a town, school, and learning experience. It is required of all Juniors for the Fall Term only and staffed by teachers across the disciplines who seek to develop the skills of creative thinking and independent learning through classroom discussion. Generally course assignments include reading, observing, listening, speaking, writing, and researching skills of study in both the sciences and the humanities. This course also serves as an introduction to the library as a research facility for written and oral presentations.

In recent years the curriculum has included readings in the short story, poetry, drama and the essay, exploring the relationship between community, diversity, and social responsibility in the United States.
