Technology Nichols believes that technological skills should be acquired within the context of an academic project or lesson and should complement a teacher’s curriculum. Necessary computer skills are integrated into the curricula of all subject areas. As students move through the Upper School, proficiency with technology grows as students draw on library and Internet sources for research and homework assignments, use multimedia formats for the presentation of their ideas, and explore many other tools within their classrooms. Writing Center The Writing Center is an interdisciplinary resource for all Upper School students seeking assistance or guidance with any part of the writing process. Two faculty members are available for individual, one-on-one meetings. To schedule a meeting, students need only sign up on the schedule outside of their office. Senior Thesis In the second semester of the senior year, Nichols students are required to research and develop a thesis through an academic department to complete their Nichols educational experience. Students research and write a thesis, working with a faculty advisor through an academic department. The senior thesis is a graduation requirement which receives an honor, pass or revise. The thesis must be passed to receive a diploma at graduation. Science Scholar This program gives Nichols seniors the opportunity to conduct scientific research in the western NewYork area. Under the guidance of research scientists, students learn laboratory techniques, use state of the art equipment, and study the processes involved in completing college level scientific research. All students participating in the program present their scientific findings to the Nichols community at a spring symposium.

The campus is like a vibrant neighborhood all its own. The level of on-campus independence granted to students is carefully gauged to suit their age and level of development. Campus life at Nichols is modeled after a healthy home life: it’s a secure and nurturing place for children to be children, and as they grow, they are offered appropriately greater levels of freedom that enhance their learning experiences by building more confidence. Teaching Philosophy As an independent school with an average class size of 14, exceptional teachers go the extra mile and personally commit to understanding each student.
