Computer Science

An Educational Evolution

The Computer Science curriculum equips students with essential 21st-century skills through hands-on learning that fosters logical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Continuously updated to engage students’ growing interest in technology, the program prepares them to become innovators ready for real-world challenges.

Starting with intuitive, drag-and-drop programming in lower grades, the curriculum advances to languages such as Processing, Java, Python, and Swift in Upper School. Computer Science is a required semester for graduation, with options to pursue AP courses and specialized studies in Data Science, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and High Performance Computing. These offerings build a comprehensive understanding of software tools and provide a strong foundation for interdisciplinary projects and further study.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrated to personalize learning and provide immediate feedback, while preparing students for AI-driven fields. The curriculum also addresses AI’s limits in creativity and emotional understanding and emphasizes ethical considerations, including data privacy and the social impact of automation.

Beyond programming skills, the course cultivates awareness of the broader social, legal, and cultural implications of technology, preparing students to be thoughtful and ethical leaders.

When that milestone day arrives, after 26 years of his steady and extraordinary leadership, Tom will be the longest tenured Head of School other than Brunswick’s founder.
