Intersession is a unique, week-long program offered in the Upper School that provides students with specialized experiences, including off-campus research, collaborative opportunities with experts, and hands-on learning in and out of the school building. It is typically held the week prior to spring break each year in lieu of regular coursework.
Students and teachers construct courses based on student interest, which include a culminating project that gives back to the local or broader community.
Intersession helps students develop meaningful connections with teachers, peers, and the community, while learning more about real-life concepts of interest.
Previous intersession topics include budget cooking, designing and building an escape room, homesteading, history of film, and the neuroscience of well-being.
