All in all, I don't think the common American labels of freshman,
sophomore, etc. apply. Also, the two "academic" divisions are
"Music Theory and History" and "Liberal Arts". I don't have a course
catalig handy, so I'm not sure what the "Liberal Arts" entails.
Described in the Web site, is a reciprocal agreement with the U. of
Penn.

>From their Web site:
http://www.curtis.edu/info/academic.htm:
The Curtis Institute of Music offers the following
programs: the Diploma, the Bachelor of Music, and the
Master of Music in Opera. It also offers a program leading
to a Professional Studies Certificate in Opera.
Curtis provides complete and diversified musical training.
In addition to private instruction with distinguished
artist-teachers, students participate in classes ranging from
diction coaching for singers and chamber music sessions
for instrumentalists to master classes by renowned visiting
artists. Curtis students also have many opportunities to
perform, both as soloists and as members of ensembles.
Students who have completed Curtis' liberal arts
requirements may enroll at no cost at the University of
Pennsylvania for additional courses not available at
Curtis, under the Reciprocal Agreement between the two
schools.

Excerpt from http://www.curtis.edu/info/how.htm :
...
3.The length of a student's stay is open-ended and can
be anywhere from two years to 10 or even 11 or 12.
Students graduate when their teachers decide they
are ready. In most cases this is between three and
five years.

Excerpt from http://www.curtis.edu/admissions/elemsec.htm :
...
The Curtis Institute of Music does not offer a preparatory
music or academic program. We believe that gifted young
musicians should study with leading teachers from the
beginning of their conservatory days. Accordingly, The
Institute sets no minimum age for the admission of
exceptional students to its programs except in vocal
studies. Even the youngest, elementary-school-aged
students receive musical training from the same teachers at
the same intensive levels as do their older colleagues (the
only difference being that the younger students may
receive extra lessons).
Until they earn a high-school diploma or equivalent and
take the SAT I and/or TOEFL, pre-college-aged students
are considered candidates for the Diploma.
Pre-college-aged students pursue their musical studies at
Curtis, and they pursue their college-preparatory,
academic studies at an accredited public or private high
school of their own choosing. Several such schools are
within walking distance of The Curtis Institute of Music.
Students must make their own arrangements for the
payment of tuition and other fees. Financial aid is available
at most private schools. Limited funding may be available
from Curtis based on need. For further information about
elementary- and secondary-school options, please contact
the Director of Student Services.
...
In consultation with the Dean, the faculty and the Director
of Student Services, academically advanced younger
students may on occasion be permitted to enroll in
academic courses for which they demonstrate superior
aptitude.
