Lincoln-Sudbury

Since its founding in 1954, Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School has viewed itself as “a different kind of place” — a place that not only tolerates but truly values diversity in style and substance. This quality manifests itself in the academic program and in the general atmosphere of the school, and may best be seen in the respectful and warm relationships between students and adults, the high degree of autonomy for and participation by the faculty in decisions, and a school culture marked by commitment to innovation and experimentation. Through a challenging academic program and a wide variety of school activities, students are expected to make choices and to have a degree of power over their own education. The ability to make good choices requires the development of a sense of responsibility and an understanding of the ethical implications of their actions. Formality and standardization have, in the life of the school, been less important than creativity, originality, and critical thinking skills. The school culture also seeks to join academic skills to an active civic concern for the Lincoln-Sudbury community, American society, and the world beyond. The school’s Core Values — fostering of cooperative and caring relationships, respect for human differences, and the development and maintenance of a purposeful and rigorous academic program – constitute the foundation of the operation of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. The primary curricular expectation that we have of ourselves is that we provide opportunities for students to develop a strong knowledge base in the various disciplines and program areas described in our Program of Studies, and reflected in our graduation requirements.
