Diploma Distinctions

The Diploma Distinction program serves as an opportunity for students with a particular interest (akin to a college major), historically in Global Studies, Service & Leadership, or Sustainability, to have the opportunity to pursue research in their area of interest.

Over the course of five semesters beginning sophomore spring, they select their courses and activities intentionally to support the distinction; complete outside reading around a theme; document their work in a digital portfolio; and complete a senior capstone project or thesis. Those who successfully complete the entire process graduate with distinction in their area of study. These diploma distinctions are meant to provide a venue for students to build upon and/or demonstrate an area of interest as they personalize their Lovett Upper School experience.
