I love Mr. Halback, Dr. G, and Mr. Valji! They taught me about subjects I had a broad understanding of and gave me an opportunity to understand them better.

My favorite class was Conceptual Physics Enriched in 9th grade with Mr. Milling. I enjoyed this class because it was a very hands-on learning experience. We got to create our own experiments and make observations. I was always excited to go to physics because it was like solving a puzzle. You might be given a glass prism to learn about refraction or a bowling ball to learn about gravity. There was something new every day!
What I Love Most About Bishop's
My favorite thing about Bishop's is that we're always encouraged to ask questions and have open discussions in class. I really enjoy the Harkness learning style, which is where we sit around a circular table and discuss with our classmates. I love hearing everyone's different interpretations of an English novel or the different ways they approached a math problem, because oftentimes, it's something that never crossed my mind!
