I don’t know if this counts as artsy, but I think my last year of French at Andover has been pretty artsy… We would mostly watch films, eat crepes (one of the other classes spent a large part of the year making crepes to raise money for a Haitian community, but I digress), make up short plays based on these films – with costumes and everything. Other than French though, all my classes have been pretty straightfoward thankfully, since I frankly just hate working with other people on graded projects. In AP Euro, I had to give a speech on Chartism from the point of view of a peasant in Manchester, but that was just once, and that class is… not your average class.

Honestly, I think it depends on the kinds of classes you’re taking… with the exception of one Calculus class that ended up writing an essay/proof on whether or not Cady was right on the limits question in Mean Girls, math and science classes are going to be pretty independent and traditional. In my experience, English and History classes are the same. Foreign languages… yeah, they’re probably going to make you do a skit or two.
