The Rising Scholars Program is a pre-orientation program from Friday, August 22, to Monday, August 25. Proctor orientation will begin at midday on Thursday, August 21. RSP introduces students to Deerfield’s academic, social, and cocurricular life and provides a select group of ninth- and new tenth-graders an early opportunity to experience living and learning at Deerfield. Participants will live in a dormitory, attend academic classes, participate in social activities designed to help them connect to faculty and student proctors, and learn about available resources as they transition into the many facets of Deerfield life.
Past participants often cite their relationships with proctors as one of the program’s most beneficial outcomes. We are looking for about 16 proctors, rising sophomores and juniors to serve in this important role. Priority will be given to former Rising Scholars, and all students committed to supporting new students and fostering inclusion and belonging are encouraged to apply. The application is due by 10 pm on May 12.
Please feel free to contact Ms. DeLuca if you have any questions.
We look forward to reading your application!
