Welcome to the Upper School
The high school years are a period of significant growth — both academically and personally. The Bass Upper School excels at providing important growth opportunities by having clear, high, and achievable expectations appropriate for each individual. This includes significant support for these young adults in reaching their potential.
Our administrators and faculty work to ensure that all students feel welcome and are valued for their contributions, while also providing a safe space where they can share their talents and learn from one another while having fun. We are committed to the vital work in the area of community engagement and inclusion.
The School is confident in its ability to provide a rigorous and engaging educational experience, with our 3A’s curriculum (academics, arts, athletics) and intentional auxiliary programs. Many alumni return and share that they were well-prepared to enter college and their careers as thoughtful, responsible, hard-working leaders.
As we continue long-standing traditions, we also recognize areas for growth, academically and otherwise, charting that path together.
Upper School is a pivotal time for students as they prepare for the challenges of college and beyond. During these years, leaders are born, career paths become clear and students develop a grander vision for their future.
