We prepare students to be responsible and open-minded as they engage with the world around them.  \nCore Values  \nInquiry  \nWe promote curiosity and critical thinking to inspire a lifelong love of learning.  \nIntegrity  \nWe strive to be honest, conscientious, and accountable in our actions even when no one is watching.  \nBelonging  \nWe foster a culture of respect, well-being, and connection that values all individuals and empowers them to discover and be their authentic selves.  \nKindness  \nWe strengthen our communities by recognizing our common humanity and treating ourselves and others with respect and compassion.  \nMotto  \nHonor-Scholarship-Kindness  \nGlobal Education Program  \nBB&N has a strong and ongoing commitment to the principles of a global education. With social and local issues becoming increasingly global and interdependent, it is essential that the School cultivate global citizens. Students learn to be open and curious, to collaborate and communicate with each other and across boundaries, to appreciate multiple perspectives, and to recognize that the world is made up of interconnected and interdependent systems. As they develop these competencies, students investigate the world beyond the classroom, propose innovative solutions to problems, and act upon critical issues. These competencies are developed through the School’s courses, study abroad opportunities, Global Online Academy, School-sponsored travel, virtual exchange programs, and extracurricular activities.  \nUpper School Program Planning Guide 2023-2024 3  \nUpper School Contact Information  \nUpper School Director: Jessica Keimowitz ([jkeimowitz@bbns.org](jkeimowitz@bbns.org), 617-800-2130)  \nUpper School Assistant Director: Katrina Fuller ([kfuller@bbns.org](kfuller@bbns.org), 617-800-2138)  \nDean of Students: Rory Morton ([rmorton@bbns.org](rmorton@bbns.org), 617-800-2165)  \nDean of Teaching and Learning: Michael Chapman ([mchapman@bbns.org](mchapman@bbns.org), 617-800-2156)  \nDirector of Global Education: Karina Baum ([kbaum@bbns.org](kbaum@bbns.org), 617-800-2250)  \nDirector of Student Support Services: Kim Gold ([kgold@bbns.org](kgold@bbns.org), 617-800-2227)  \nDepartment Heads  \nArts Department Head: Laura Tangusso ([ltangusso@bbns.org](ltangusso@bbns.org), 617-800-2286)  \nEnglish Department Head: Ariel Duddy ([aduddy@bbns.org](aduddy@bbns.org), 617-800-2159)  \nHistory and Social Sciences Department Head: Susan Glazer ([sglazer@bbns.org](sglazer@bbns.org), 617-800-2163) Mathematics and Computer Science Department Head:","cbCaik7hLdtMN0fw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik7hLdtMN0fw","pdf",1528183,"English","# Mission\n# Global Education Program\n# Upper School Contact Information\n# Upper School Graduation Requirements\n# Four-Year Course Planning Worksheet\n# Grade 9 At-A-Glance\n# Grade 10 At-A-Glance\n# Grade 11 At-A-Glance\n# Grade 12 At-A-Glance\n# Department Offerings\n## Arts Department\n## Athletics Department\n## English Department\n## History and Social Sciences Department\n## Mathematics and Computer Science Department\n## Science Department\n## World Languages Department\n# Academic Considerations and Policies\n## Academic Concerns and Academic Status\n## Accommodations for Students with Disabilities\n## Arts Department Content Policy\n## Credit from Other Schools/Summer Academic Work\n## Exams\n## Grade Reports\n## Honors\n## Independent Study Program\n## Pass-Fail Courses\n## Program Changes: Adding or Dropping a Course\n## Promotion and Satisfactory Academic Standing\n## Requests for Grade Changes\n# Senior Requirements\n## Senior Spring Project","[{\"question\":\"What are the main graduation-course expectations for grades 9 and 10–12?\",\"answer\":\"Grade 9 includes five academic courses plus a sixth arts course.
