Math thoughts
On 9th grade math:
But it was just really nice to have that adaptability and respect and responsiveness already in 9th grade.
—Finn Clark (class of 2016)
On teacher encouragement:
…but his words were just something that really really touched me and inspired me to keep working and I think that’s something really special about Bard, you kind of have an opportunity to connect with teachers in a way you wouldn’t at other institutions.
—Eoin Gronningsater (class of 2016)
