Subject clusters

Three core disciplines

Quantitative reasoning

Mathematics and analytical methods, with weekly problem sets, reading lists, and topic-by-topic syllabi that build from foundations to applied work.

Scientific inquiry

Laboratory-based study across STEM fields, where each unit pairs lecture topics with hands-on investigation and written method reports.

Language arts

Humanities and critical reading courses that examine argument, interpretation, and clear written expression across a published reading list.

Weekly rhythm

How a term is structured

Small cohort seminars emphasize direct discussion between students and faculty. Each week follows a set instructional rhythm, with assignment cycles that are published in advance in every subject syllabus.

Lecture and reading

Two lectures and a reading session each week, with the reading list and lesson topics set out in the syllabus.

Seminar participation

Students prepare from assigned texts and contribute to discussion; participation standards are stated at the start of term.

Assignment cycles

Problem sets, laboratory reports, and written essays follow a fixed cycle, so every student knows deadlines and feedback points in advance.
