9. PROGRAM OF STUDIES
6
Wolfebor o Cur riculum
W ithin a college preparatory curriculum, Wolfeboro’s
primary purpose is constructive scholastic work for girls and
boys age 10 to 18 and entering grades 6 through 12.
First and foremost, the program emphasizes effective and
efficient study habits, study skills, organization, motivation
and academic confidence.
Course selection is best developed in consultation with
Wolfeboro staff and, upon request, with the student’s school.
Course decisions can be deferred until after acceptance and
near the end of the current school year.
In addition to taking courses for credit, courses are taken to:
(1) Preview or Review specific academic courses.
(2) Strengthen skills in all traditional subjects.
Course Cr edit
Every course can be taken for credit purposes; courses are
taken for credit with written permission from the student’s
school. Courses for credit are arranged in advance between
Wolfeboro and the student’s school and can be designed to
meet the specific requirements of the other school.
Academic Schedule
• All students are in class for 3 class periods per day.
• Most students enroll in 3 different single-period subjects.
• Full year credit courses often require a two-period class.
• All courses meet for the entire session.
• Middle School students have structured academic time
four periods each morning - three class periods, one
period of extra help or quiet study and one recreational
break or extra help as needed. Two hours are dedicated
to evening study activities.
• Upper School students have structured academic time
five periods each morning - three class periods and two
periods of extra help or quiet study. Two hours are
dedicated to evening study activities.
Wolfeboro
10. PROGRAM OF S T U D I E S Continued
7
Per for mance Evaluation
A ll students earn at least one grade in each class every
day. In general, all teachers administer a daily quiz and a
weekly test. These assessments are graded and returned the
same or next day. Examinations are given at the end of all
courses. In those cases where a referring school requires their
own exam be taken, the school submits a complete course
outline and/or practice exam to Wolfeboro prior to the
beginning of the session.
Academic Suppor t and
Accountability
Extra help is required as needed each academic day. By
policy, students remain supervised until each assignment is
completed satisfactorily. A mandatory, structured, thoroughly
supervised two-hour evening session is part of every student’s
program. Evening study hall maximizes preparation for the
next day as well as fosters sustained focus and independent
productivity.
Academic Repor ts and
T ranscripts
Teacher reports and grades are provided weekly to both
the student and the Head of School. Parents receive
comprehensive teacher reports at the mid-term and at
the conclusion of the session.
A comprehensive summary report is written by the Head
of School or Academic Dean for each student and is sent
to parents after the end of the session. At the parent’s
request, an official school transcript and/or teachers
reports will be sent to schools.

12. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
9
T he School offers a traditional middle and secondary school college preparatory curriculum. Courses may be taken in
the subject areas of English, writing, literature, reading, mathematics, history, science, Latin, Spanish, French, SAT
Preparation, English as a Second Language and study skills. The School’s underlying emphasis is on the development and
cultivation of effective study skills and, more importantly, of effective study habits. The student’s non-academic program
is designed to be supportive of the academic program.
Course descriptions in this section serve as a general guideline for course content. Adjustments are made to meet individual
needs as well as specific credit requirements for individual schools. The combination of any three courses at Wolfeboro will
result in the further development of a student’s study skills as well as study habits.
All courses can be taken for credit. Please read our credit policy stated on page 6. Some courses will require a double period
thus leaving room for only one additional course. All students will be enrolled in courses meeting in three academic periods
per day — six days per week. Academic credit may be earned in Studio Art and/or Physical Education by documented
participation in the School’s recreational curriculum in addition to a student’s three course program.

effort is made to design a program as part of the student’s
developmental continuum and not an isolated series of
exercises. The School must know as much as possible about
each student’s educational history as well as proposed
programs for the future.
