BB&N Students and Parents:
BB&N Upper School students are expected to read at least three books over the summer, with most foreign language students reading an additional book in that foreign language.
Below you will find a summary of the school's summer reading requirements, as well as a link to the summer reading lists. If you have specific questions, the best answer will probably come from the academic department head or foreign language program coordinator.
