Mirroring Bryn Mawr’s college-preparatory program, Bryn Mawr Online offers stimulating and challenging academics across many disciplines. Bryn Mawr Online offers a robust and diverse curriculum that provides girls with a strong foundation in mathematics, science, humanities, arts and athletics. Upper Schoolers are required to study a wide variety of subjects and have the flexibility to discover and pursue their individual interests.
One of our primary goals as we work with our talented students is to foster critical and independent thinking. Girls are encouraged at each step of their experience to develop their own questions as we consciously nurture in students the awareness that asking one’s own question is often more valuable than answering someone else’s. Bryn Mawr girls are known for developing strong and well-founded opinions and for being confident in sharing them.
We believe in the delights and demands of learning. At Bryn Mawr, we inspire each girl to discover her voice, rise to challenges and grow into her own extraordinary self. At all levels, our academic program fosters critical thinking, creative expression, a sense of discovery, and honorable character. There are no limits to what our girls can become.
