ACADEMIC DISTINCTIONS Lovett is a member of the Global Online Academy, a consortium of the world’s leading independent schools, whose mission is to translate into online classrooms the intellectually rigorous program and excellent teaching that are hallmarks of the member schools. Students with a particular interest in Global Studies, Service & Leadership, or Sustainability have the opportunity to pursue a diploma distinction (akin to a college major) in their area of interest. Senior Projects give seniors the opportunity to create and pursue an educational objective or opportunity that cannot be pursued during the normal school day or within the normal academic curriculum. More than 50 Lovett students participate in the Junior Internship Program each summer. Lovett students also participate in exclusive internships at the Georgia Aquarium and Atlanta Botanical Garden throughout the school year.
