ACADEMICS

Academic Program

In the Junior and Lower School students develop a love for learning, and build social skills and work habits in each area of a well-rounded academic program.

In the early grades, the curriculum focuses on a systematic approach to cultivate phonetic, literacy and mathematics skills. Lower School students develop outstanding literacy and numeracy skills. Hawthorn’s Upper School delivers an ambitious classical liberal arts education, preparing the leaders of tomorrow for university, the workplace, family life and the world beyond.

Hawthorn’s compulsory courses fine tune students’ capacity for critical thinking, round out their cultural literacy, and serve to educate the whole person: body, mind and soul.
