About the Workshop in Language and Thinking

The Workshop in Language and Thinking is an intensive, three-week writing program that begins in early August. Students read extensively in several genres, work on many different kinds of writing projects, and meet in small groups to discuss their reading and writing. Through these activities, they learn to read and listen more thoughtfully, to articulate ideas, to review their own work critically, and, most basically, to recognize the link between thought and expression. The workshop is also an introduction to college-level instruction and exchange and to the Bard community. Satisfactory completion of the Workshop in Language and Thinking is required for matriculation into the College. Students failing to meet this requirement will be asked to take one year's academic leave.
