Bard College at Simon’s Rock is the only four-year college in the United States specifically
designed to allow highly motivated adolescents to fully realize their intellectual
and creative potential by beginning college immediately after the 10th or 11th grade.
For over 50 years, Simon’s Rock has occupied a unique space in the educational landscape,
practicing the simple yet radical idea that many students are ready for college before
the age of 18. We strive to do so in an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives
are valued. Six years ago, Simon’s Rock opened Bard Academy at Simon's Rock, a two-year
high school for 9th- and 10th-graders on the path to starting college early. The campus
is located on 275 acres in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a hub of the Berkshires
and, according to Smithsonian Magazine, “the best small town in America.” Equidistant
between New York and Boston, the Berkshires are a site of great natural beauty and
numerous outdoor activities, as well as a cultural destination. AA/EOE.
