Campbell Hall Profile

Remote Learning Due to the challenges presented by the Coronavirus, Campbell Hall made the following changes to the academic experience and requirements of students: • From mid-March 2020 to March 2021, Campbell Hall transitioned to a fully online model of instruction and programming. In April 2021, we moved to a hybrid model of learning, and in September 2021, we returned to campus and a fully in-person model of instruction. • Our evaluation and letter based grading system remained the same. • Online AP exams were optional for students. • International and local school sponsored school trips were canceled. • The annual 20 hour community service requirement was waived.

Academic Terms and Unique Courses ACADEMIC TERMS Campbell Hall offers courses that are either one year or one semester in length. The official grade reported for credit on the transcript is the end-of-course grade. The only other progress grade reports sent to colleges are in the students’ senior year: in early December we send students’ first trimester grades for their year-long courses, and in early February we send students’ end-of-course grades for their semester-long courses.

UNIQUE COURSES Campbell Hall Advanced Inquiry (CHAI) courses are designed to engage students in constructing meaning through authentic, rigorous study of a discipline at the college level. They represent the highest level of study in a particular subject. These courses serve the school’s mission as a community of inquiry and allow for a much deeper level of discussion, engagement, depth, and quality to which Campbell Hall is committed.

All students must complete one semester of Art History and a one year course in visual or performing arts during their sophomore, junior, or senior year. These long-standing requirements ask students to examine the academic disciplines of both visual and performing arts in civilization and are crucial components in the school’s commitment to the value of a broad and interdisciplinary liberal arts and sciences education.

The Senior Project program is an extension of the school’s mission to create a community of inquiry through student designed projects that develop real-world connections, captivate students’ interest, and foster personal growth. Seniors elect to take part in these self-directed experiences that include career exploration, service learning, or a creative endeavor. In a culminating exhibition, seniors formally present their projects and personal reflections to the school community.

Students who would like to engage in self-directed exploration or research on a specific topic can partner with a faculty member to create an academic course through the Independent Study Program. Independent study courses are designated on the transcript with the prefix “IS.” Recent courses include: Theater Education with a focus on Scene Study; Directed Projects: Dance Photography in Film; American Legacies of Race, Gender, and Ethnicity; Introduction to Quantum Physics; Toxicology and Environmental Justice; Screenwriting for Short Films; and Data Structures and Algorithms.

As part of a thriving, multi-tiered program, Campbell Hall’s most advanced creative writers have the option of earning a Creative Writing Fellow designation on their transcript by completing a rigorous sequence of workshops, public performances, directed independent study devoted to literary techniques, editing, and service to the community, culminating in the production of a chapbook of original work and a thesis defense. When evaluating a transcript, these courses should be considered academic, and the advanced and independent study courses as Honors-level, as in both discourse and expectation, they operate like high-level undergraduate creative writing classes.

Honors and College Level Courses Campbell Hall students must meet rigorous standards to earn placement into Honors, Advanced Placement, and CHAI courses.
