The Birch Wathen Lenox School is built upon a tradition of academic excellence. We believe, above all, that our students must know how to think, how to analyze, how to synthesize, and how to communicate their ideas. To that end, we emphasize the development of writing and critical skills across the curriculum – in Science, Mathematics, History, English, Foreign Language and Art. Students study a wide range of subjects, and explore each subject in depth, through lectures, experiments, fieldwork, research and discussions.
