Social, cultural, scientific, and historical topics are selected each year for integrated studies.

The topics selected:

• Are significant and age appropriate.
• Are compelling to students.
• Provide a wide range of options for exploration.
• Are supported by fine informational and fictional literature.
• Are enhanced by numerous kinds of print and media resources.
• Provide opportunities for real experiences, both in the classroom and in the field.
• Engage students in the use of technology.
• Sustain student interest.

In the primary grades, topics, such as Simple Machines, Japan, and Native Americans, offer the girls opportunities to explore concepts and to delve into questions that arise during the introductory phase. Each study includes group and individual research, authentic experiences with guests and field trips, use of varied materials, and a culminating piece that might be written, dramatized, or built.

Integrated studies in the intermediate grades focus more on historical topics. The city of Columbus is studied in Form III and Ohio history in Form IV. The exploration of the Americas and the development of the United States as a nation in the Western Hemisphere are the basis of inquiry in Form V.

All integrated studies are designed to engage the girls in language, science, art, music, technology, library, and research so that their experiences with the topic are multi-faceted and drawn from many points of view.
