Entering Class IV

All students entering Class IV are required to read ONE book.

There is NO REQUIRED COURSE READING. However, reading IS STILL REQUIRED!

In May, students selected books of interest from a list of titles nominated by faculty and staff. Students were then assigned a book from their list of titles of interest, and will read that book as their required summer reading. In September, students who read the same book will meet in small groups with faculty and staff to discuss their book. Please see below for more information.

In addition to their assigned reading, students are also encouraged to read books of their own choosing! Included below is a list of additional titles recommended by Nobles faculty and staff.

Titles for Small Group Discussions

All students entering Class IV should now have received an email from the Nobles Library with their assigned summer reading book. If you have not received an email from the Nobles Library with this information, please email Talya Sokoll (tsokoll0f@nobles.edu).

New incoming students: please make sure to check both your personal email and your new Nobles email address.

These books are NOT available through the Nobles Online Bookstore. Please make sure to obtain this book and read it over the summer. You will be participating in a discussion of your title in the first weeks of school.

Additional Recommended Reading for Upper School

Below are two lists of additional titles recommended by Nobles faculty and staff - one list is fiction, the other nonfiction. These titles will NOT be part of the list of titles available as required reading. These lists are, however, a great place to get ideas for some interesting reading! If you have any questions or need even more suggestions, please reach out to library@nobles.edu.
