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.
