Upper School Summer Reading

2009

 

BB&N Students and Parents:

 

BB&N Upper School students are expected to read at least three books over the summer, with most world language students reading an additional book in that world 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 world language program coordinator.

 

General (Ms. Jones, Library)

Read at least 1.  [This list contains general fiction, general non-fiction, and books in the following subject areas: math, science, and art.  A student may read an additional book from the English Department list instead of a book from this list.]

History (Mr. Hogan, Chair)

Read 1 if your course requires it. [See listing]

English (Ms. Cranston, Chair)
