No, BHSEC students take all of their classes on the Houston Street Campus. There are some events and seminars that students are invited to but they take all their classes in Manhattan. There are also many times where Professors and artists from the Bard Campus come down to Manhattan to visit the school. There is also an annual trip to Bard College and Simon’s Rock during the Spring.

The Bard Campus is around a 2 hour drive from the BHSEC campus. This is one of the reasons they don’t take classes there.

Thanks, CLR.

To be clear, I meant: Do BHSEC students ever have programs ON the Bard campus at Annandale-on-Hudson?

I am recalling Berkeley High School’s partnership with UCBerkeley. Seniors who had maxed out even the Advanced Placement curriculum had an opportunity to take actual UC classes on the Cal campus.

Yes there is a connection between BHSEC and Bard College. SOme of the seminar classes that take place in BHSEC come from Bard. Bard also financially support BHSEC as well, with books and so forth.

Do most or many of the education reforms currently under discussion in this country support the BHSEC vision?

Worth a repeat:
“Students at Williams have often said, “In high school, I didn’t even have to think. Now, it’s all about thinking. I don’t know if I even trust myself to come up with something good.” ”

Wowzers. And that’s at a GOOD school!

Question: Is there any connection between BHSEC and the Bard campus itself — classes or events?
