We encourage you to map out your upcoming years at Drew. Plan your high school experience by browsing our course catalog, experiential elective catalog, and the beloved DEALL catalog. In doing so, you will notice that there are endless choices - at Drew, you don’t have to wait until you are halfway through your experience to take advantage of all the opportunities.

We know that you have ideas about what high school should look and feel like. That's why at Drew, you are in the driver's seat!
 
Your time here is much more than just the time spent in class or on trips - don’t forget to check out the athletic teams, clubs, affinity spaces, leadership opportunities, the Arts, and where our alumni go to college. You can find links on the left, and below, to learn about all of this and more. 
 
We are here to coach you through this big decision. Join us on campus to revisit or schedule a 1:1 session, see options below. 
 
Congratulations again!
