Simon's Rock College is the only four-year, liberal arts college specifically designed for younger scholars. It was founded on the idea that many bright, highly motivated young people of fifteen or sixteen are ready to undertake serious college work. The academic program at Simon's Rock combines a substantial and coherent required core curriculum in the liberal arts and sciences with extensive opportunities for students to pursue their own interests and talents through advanced courses and independent study. The residential campus houses less than 400 students and has an excellent teaching faculty.
