The biggest feature of Williams School is that the school itself is located within Connecticut College (a top 50 liberal arts college in the US). Therefore, middle and high school students can immerse themselves in the academic atmosphere of a university and share university facilities such as libraries, laboratories, and sports venues with college students. Academically, the school offers a special 'college acceleration' program. High-achieving 11th and 12th-grade students have the opportunity to take one course at Connecticut College each semester, earning college credits in advance. The school also has its independently developed 'advanced courses,' which are similar in difficulty to AP courses but cover a richer variety of topics.
