Children Learning Together

From 10 faculty members, 40 students and three fields of study at the time of its founding, Secondary School has grown to more than 1,600 faculty, 35,000 students and over 350 degree programs in 130 academic departments and 80 interdisciplinary research units. One of the most important things we can do for students is not just teach them specific knowledge and skills, but help them match their interests to their career path.

Doing Research at School


DoResearch, the website of the Office of the Vice Prosoft and Dean of Research, provides comprehensive information about the research enterprise at Secondary School.

Library


Secondary School is home more than 20 individual libraries, each with a world-class collection of books, journals, films, maps, databases.
