ADMISSION/CREDIT
An excursion to Warwick Castle Admission
To be eligible for admission students must be freshmen,sophomores, juniors or seniors in high school. Early application is encouraged as there is a rolling admission policy. High academic achievement is recommended.
“I have known and taught students who have experienced the scholars’ Programme at Cambridge, and have returned to the U.S. I have observed the cultural and social expansion of these high school students as they have returned far more prepared for the diversity and acculturation of the their impending college lives.”
—MS. LILLIAN LOWRY Rtd. Dean of Students, Francis W. Parker School, Chicago, IL
Evaluation and Credit
Students participate in the Programme to broaden their knowledge and strengthen their skills in addition to applying for high school and college credit recommendations. Each elected course consists of ten sessions of 90 minutes. This is the length of a course with a weekly session of a normal academic term of ten weeks. Class II, with on-site commentaries, exceeds 15 hours. Students and parents should review credit requirements with their high school or college advisors before enrolling in the Programme. A syllabus of each course the student chooses will be sent in the late Spring. At the end of the Programme, each student receives a written evaluation of performance and letter grade for Courses I and III, not a transcript; a pass/fail grade for Class II, IV, and a Certificate of Attendance. The course syllabus and the lecturer’s in-depth evaluation of the student’s performance cannot be duplicated in future years, and are, hence, the responsibility of the student to copy and take to his or her school to be included in the school transcript. We encourage students to keep copies of these papers, in a place they will remember when they begin to apply to colleges.
