We’re glad you’re here. Bard College at Simon’s Rock is sort of an unusual (extraordinary, actually) place to be. Most people go to college after they finish high school. This is different. This is college, right now—immediately after the tenth or eleventh grade. It’s a conscious choice, a deliberate break from the standard schooling track. If you come here, you’ve thought carefully about who you are, what’s important to you, and what you’re capable of. We like that. We hope you like us.
