Deerfield Academy was chartered in 1797 to serve the local population of a rural village in Western Massachusetts. Since the 1920s, it has been wholly independent and committed to excellence in a full liberal arts curriculum and wholesome community life for young people from throughout the United States and around the world in grades nine through postgraduate. Deerfield鈥檚 Core Values include citizenship, face-to-face interactions, connectedness, reflection and balance, pursuit of mastery, and shared experiences.

Academic Program:

Deerfield students engage in five seminar-style classes (average size: 12 students) each term; many classes are year-long, while others are one- or two-trimester electives. In some cases, an advanced student may be granted permission to take a sixth graded class. Any student can choose to take a fine or performing arts course as a sixth pass/fail class.

Academic work at Deerfield is evaluated on a numerical scale (0-100) where the minimum passing grade is 60. Qualifying cumulative grade averages for the term of 93.0 or above garner High Honors distinction and 90.0 or above garner Honors distinction. One hundred percent of our graduates ultimately attend four-year colleges and universities.

Curriculum:

All of Deerfield鈥檚 courses should be viewed as challenging and college preparatory. Many classes use college level texts and match the pace of an undergraduate college course; others are post-AP level and the Honors or AP-course is the prerequisite. Over the past several years, Deerfield has moved away from teaching AP courses, and we currently only offer official AP courses in math and the arts along with an AP Seminar. All world language courses, except those in Latin and Arabic, are conducted exclusively in the target language. As a result, some students find the adjustment to language classes at Deerfield to be difficult, and our placement of new students may reflect that.

Cocurricular Activities:

Each student spends approximately two hours every weekday afternoon in a required faculty-supervised activity. For most students, this is an athletic commitment at the varsity, junior varsity, or recreational level. For others, this time is spent in dance classes or theater rehearsals or pursuing volunteer work through our community service program. A few students receive permission to engage in special projects in art, music, or an academic field. Academic Calendar
