房屋系统
小社区,大机遇
成立于2007年, the GA 房屋系统 offers several compelling benefits for students entering the 上学校. Placement in one of our seven Houses 1) introduces students to a more intimate and manageable community, which supports greater connection and individual relationship-building; 2) provides leadership opportunities for students within each House; 3) creates a setting for additional mentoring and collaboration; 4) enables inter-house activities and friendly competitions; and 5) allows faculty advisors to focus on one House, ensuring that all student members receive appropriate amounts of attention and guidance.
Each House is named after a notable headmaster, 老师, 明矾, or community member in GA’s history - Alcott Day, 加洛韦, Kershaw, Osbourn, 罗伯茨, Truesdell, 和华盛顿. 了解更多 关于这些GA领导人.
Informal, fun competitions earn points for the annual Competition Cup. 活动包括智力活动, 精神和体育项目, culminating at House Olympics at the end of the year. Each House has its own 空间 in the 上学校 which includes lockers for all student members, 休息室家具和会议空间. 阅读更多 about how the House system was created at GA.

哈克尼斯方法
构建声音和视点
Harkness Tables provide one of the simplest yet most effective methods for 上学校 students to build confidence in expressing views and engaging in healthy debate. Rooted in the Socratic method of stimulating critical thinking through cooperative dialogue and a continuous exchange of question and answer, classroom experiences involving Harkness tables encourage each participant to contribute to discussions, 互相挑战, 为观点辩护. 大, oval-shaped tables are used in Humanities courses and are ideal for debating works of literature, questioning interpretations of historical events, 以及其他基于讨论的动态.
There is no hiding around the Harkness Table. 事实上,老师, 还有你的同学, can call on you at any time stresses the importance of being prepared, 并允许你分享你的观点. There was no better 老师 for real-life experiences than the debates I engaged in while sitting around that table at GA. ——苏西·卡特勒87年
比尔德创新中心
新思维从这里开始
Made possible by a gift from longtime benefactor the late Midge Beard Price and incorporated in the 罗伯茨 Family Library and 技术 Center, the 比尔德创新中心 consists of two 空间s to further engage students in their learning — a maker空间 and a larger, 灵活创新实验室. 学生 and faculty use the innovation lab to collaborate, 共享资源和知识, 并产生想法, 以及进入机器人领域. The new ideas take shape in the maker空间, where students work on projects with the use of 3D design software, 激光切割机, 电脑, 和各种各样的材料.
教师 across the school pilot and design various 程序s and classes for all grade levels. The Beard Center provides a hub for these innovative teaching and learning initiatives, which are centered on project-based learning and a collaborative, 有创意的, 解决问题的过程.
The new Beard Center is an incredible place because it combines the classroom experience with a fun new way to learn and have a hands-on experience. One of the most effective tools in the Beard Center are the dividers, because they allow multiple 老师s to use the 空间 at once. 也, the magnificent room in the back is a great spot for science classes, especially when they can use the 3D printer and the laser cutter. ——Harry Mirabile '20
孩子教孩子
共同学习的科学
孩子教孩子 (KTK) is a popular 程序 connecting our youngest students with our oldest ones for all kinds of fun science projects.
PreK and Kindergarten students travel to the 比尔德创新中心 and pair up with 上学校 students to create 3D glasses, 工艺日晷, 进行实验, 看看科学到底有多令人兴奋. 较低的学校 students get to spend time learning from students who they regard as the "rock stars" of GA, while older Patriots get to share their enthusiasm for science and serving as a mentor and 老师.
The KTK 程序 was more than just a science activity for my children. The opportunity to go across campus and collaborate with the "big kids" on cool projects all year long is definitely a highlight of their time in 较低的学校. ——Josh Albert P'26 '30

农业经济, working alongside other volunteers at a Habitat for Humanity site in Taos, 新墨西哥, and assisting with disaster relief in New Orleans and Puerto Rico.
