Senior Tutorial Courses

Working with a faculty sponsor, seniors may design an independent course of study that expands current offerings. Each course must be reviewed and approved by the Educational Program Committee (EPC).

Work Term

Seniors in good standing may submit a proposal to do a work term as part of their spring semester. This program is intended to provide qualified seniors the opportunity to explore an area that might be of future career interest. Work term projects generally begin one week before March Break and continue through the break.

Senior Exhibitions

Senior Exhibitions are an opportunity for seniors who are in good academic and disciplinary standing to design and complete a two-month independent project, ideally interdisciplinary, culminating in a body of work that will be exhibited. Students are expected to create a project that draws upon the breadth of their educational experience at Putney. There will be a final presentation to the school community at the end of the semester. At these presentations, there will be outside evaluators who are practitioners in the field or fields of the Exhibition who, with faculty sponsors, grant or deny credit. Senior Exhibitions encourage students to show mastery through independent learning across the curriculum.
