Although the Calhoun School, which is profiled in this article, has adopted a more extreme version of the longer-classes approach, the philosophy motivating this change is very much the same as the thinking that has led us to develop a new schedule for the 2012-2013 academic year. Like Calhoun School, we believe that longer concentrations of class time are required in order to achieve deeper and more meaningful learning experiences for our students.
