Description

Bard College at Simon’s Rock is the nation’s only
four-year residential college specifically designed
for students ready to begin college early, usually
after the 10th or 11th grade. Students typically
enter Simon’s Rock at the age of 16, without a high
school diploma, and earn the BA by age 20.
 
For some students, high school is not enough.
Simon’s Rock offers an alternative: a rigorous
program in the liberal arts and sciences and a
community of engaged, supportive peers and
faculty. Courses are all taught as seminars, and
emphasize analytical thinking, excellence in
expression, and interdisciplinary perspective. Every
aspect of our college–academic, advisory, and
residential–is tailored to the needs of teens, not
older students.
 
Founded in 1966, Simon’s Rock joined the Bard
College system in 1979. Our students can take
classes at the main Bard campus and our BA is
jointly granted by Simon’s Rock and Bard College. Simon’s Rock graduates have
excelled in every field of endeavor. Visit us to see if early college will fulfill your
potential for excellence.
 
Ages: Students admitted after
completing 10th or 11th grade,
typically aged 15 - 17.
 
Special Programs: The Berkshire Regional
Scholarship provides significant
financial assistance to qualified
students who reside in 14
surrounding counties.
 
Tuition: $44,075
