Class Schedule Calendar 2022-23
The Class Schedule Calendar helps students and faculty keep track of the alternating day schedule and remember what class period (first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth) they should attend on what day. Please check this calendar often because it will be updated over the course of the school year. Remember that this calendar only has events related to the Class Schedule, so you should continue to refer to the Main Academy Calendar and the Academic Affairs Calendar for other important events and deadlines.
The Class Schedule Calendar for Fall, Winter, & Spring Term 2022-23 is now available.
Please note: At the start of each term, we strive to publish a calendar that is as accurate as possible, but changes to the originally published daily class schedule may be needed. Any changes will be communicated to the school community as soon as possible via The Bulletin.
Class Schedule 2022-23
Class periods will be 90 minutes on Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday. Wednesday class periods will be 60 minutes. Classes will alternate every other day with classes meeting five times over a two-week rotation. Please refer to the Class Schedule Calendar above to determine what periods meet on what days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Before they enter Deerfield, all new students are required to take a math placement test to determine an appropriate class. Students who have already taken a language they wish to continue studying at Deerfield will take a placement test to determine what level class they should take. If the placement in either department is deemed inappropriate after the student arrives, then the section teacher may suggest a change of level. Students may also request such a change and should consult with their teacher and their academic advisor before contacting the Dean of Studies, Lydia Hemphill.
Study abroad is available to all students from their sophomore to senior years, although typically students who choose to go abroad will do so during their junior year.
In order to garner Honors distinction a student must have a cumulative term average above 90.0%. High Honors requires an average of 93.0% or above. Exemplary students with a grade point average of 92.0 or higher may qualify for admission to the Cum Laude Society, a national honor society.
Because of its commitment to rigorous academics, Deerfield offers a wide range of accelerated and Advanced Placement courses. All of Deerfield’s classes are appropriately challenging, but AP and accelerated courses provide an extra challenge for ambitious students.
All students are assigned a faculty advisor at the beginning of their time at Deerfield. After their first year students may choose a new advisor, or continue with their original one, depending on the relationships they have developed with Deerfield’s faculty. Advisors are responsible for submitting course requests and writing an advisor report every term. They are available for any questions a student may have and are involved in every major academic or athletic decision a student makes while at Deerfield. In addition, faculty eat lunch with their advisees every Thursday and may schedule outside events for their advisees. Advisors are a key component of the Deerfield experience, as they provide guidance and friendship to students throughout their time at Deerfield.
