Honors Programs
Interactive, Hands-on Learning
Many students ask if Honors classes are harder. At the Grindle Honors Institute, we emphasize that classes are not harder. Classes are more fun because students do the reading and are ready to engage in interactive learning opportunities. In our History Meets Science course students explore feudalism by building a castle and a catapult to understand the physics behind the war strategies. They understand the art and science of war!
