A Day at Bard Academy
What will your days at Bard Academy look like?
After breakfast, you’ll head off to classes until around 3:30, with a break for lunch. From 4:00 to 5:30, you’ll participate in your choice of activities (think: student clubs, sports, yoga, or other fitness classes at the Kilpatrick). You’ll eat dinner (veg, vegan, or omnivorous — it’s all on the table), and then you can head back to your residence hall for some R&R. There are optional music classes in the evenings and then a couple of hours to unwind and a recommended lights-out at 11:00.
