Preparing for Cornell?

Cascadilla is a school where: Tangled problems are readily straightened. Year courses are normally covered in one semester. Three years of a foreign language can be readily completed in a year's time. Credentials are gained by Regents' examinations given at the school in January, June, and August. Complete freedom and full responsibility secure the student's best effort and develop qualities without which no one is ready for college. Emphasis is upon thinking rather than upon learning and courses are taught with special reference to the student's later needs in similar courses at Cornell. Expenses are moderate and tuition averages about $300 per year. Living costs fit the student's tastes and resources.
