Advice on Course Requests

As course requests are being processed, we decided to interview two seniors to see which classes they recommend for upcoming 5th and 6th formers.


For our first senior spotlight, I interviewed Sebastian Brigham ‘24, asking him which courses he recommended for senior year. He took a moment to ponder this question before he responded: “I believe it is best to take a Soebroto or Duclos [Humanities] class for your senior year; they were great teachers and great courses overall. I not only learned a lot but also improved a lot.” He also recommended that “anyone interested in challenging themself should take Multivariable Calculus because getting a fine grade in Multi is so much more rewarding than getting a good grade in another math. I have honestly learned and gained a lot from that class, despite me not doing that well in the course.” Brigham’s advice 

Next up, we have Nathan Rosenzweig ‘24, asking him the same question, to which he responded with a different approach towards his courses this year. We believe that Nathan is more involved in having a typical senior spring, rather than other seniors who are still on their grind. Rosenzweig energetically responded to my question, saying, “I was inspired when I took Ceramics 1 and believe that it is a true tragedy that I didn’t take the course sooner. I wish I could have progressed up the Ceramics ladder here at SPS throughout my 4 years instead of spending the amount of time that I did on my lab reports.” We hope that this information helps with any lingering questions and can lead any current 5th or 4th formers toward their perfect senior year.
