Bryn Mawr School
Grades 9-12
What distinguishes a Bryn Mawr Upper School student? Confident self-assurance and a voice of her own–one that she’s discovered, refined and used through her teenage years to question, advocate and wonder at the world around her.
Upper School is where students consider complex ideas in Harkness discussions and collaborate with classmates for interdisciplinary projects. It’s where they immerse themselves in service and internship experiences and take the initiative in independent research and entrepreneurial startups. It’s where they set and achieve ambitious goals and graduate ready to face a world of limitless opportunities.
At Bryn Mawr, we’re serious when we say our graduates shake up every field they enter–and we can’t wait to see what they do next.

Summer Session
Get ready for summer! Summer Session at Bryn Mawr offers co-ed, credit-bearing summer courses for any student entering grades 9-12.
Some of my favorite moments are when students make clear they can, when we witness their well-earned confidence in the face of a challenge. As Bryn Mawr teachers, we embrace these opportunities to step back and let students step into their own learning and leadership.
Bryn Mawr offers a robust and diverse curriculum that provides students with a strong foundation in the humanities, mathematics, science, 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. Students 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 students are known for developing strong and well-founded opinions and for being confident in sharing them.
At Bryn Mawr, we care for the whole girl for the whole day, which means that our students are nourished and supported in and out of class, and before, during and after the school day.
