<p>When Groton’s Course Catalog reads:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>does this mean that only 1 full year of science is required over 3 years? Are remaining courses in science all electives? </p>

<p>Please clarify if you know the answer.</p>

<p>I think it’s standard for many schools to require two years of science during the four years. I guess science is rquired for 9th grade in Groton?</p>

45

<p>I think it is…bio or AP environmental studies.</p>

46

<p>To clarify, my question was whether only 1 full year of science is all that is required in the Upper School, which the text suggests.</p>

47

<p>If you consider 8/9 the Lower School, and 10/11/12 Upper, then yes, I think your reading of the text is correct.</p>

<p>If you think of it in a traditional 9-12 format, then 2 years would be required, one of which is mandatory in 9th grade - a choice of either Bio or AP Env. Sci.</p>

48

<p>So a student entering Grade 10 or later would only have 1 year of science?</p>

49

<p>^I think it’s rare at any school that science is not required in 9th grade, so Groton could assume that’s true and require only one science after 9th grade.</p>

<p>Groton does not seem to offer SYA, but are there term (or yearlong language) programs abroad in both French and Spanish?</p>
