School Year Abroad: Recommended with restrictions
Juniors who participate in SYA spend an entire year in France, Spain, China, Italy, or India (beginning in 2009-2010). SYA students live with a host family and benefit from significant language study. The curriculum for each program is closely tied to the language, history, and culture of the host country. SYA does not offer science, so students must plan to fulfill Lovett's science requirement in grades 9, 10, and 12. With consultation with the Dean of Academic Affairs, students may receive transfer history and English elective credits that can be used towards graduation requirements in those disciplines. The English elective can substitute for the Lovett's second semester 12th grade English course.
