J-Term
Description: During the first two weeks of January, students in grades 6-11 participate in hands-on, experiential-learning focused courses (receive 1 credit). All courses are on campus (possible short day trips) during the first week with high school courses having the option to travel during the second week (some courses may opt to run their second week in June instead of January). Seniors will participate one week each in job shadowing and a class trip.
Courses: Grades 6-11 select from a wide range of learning experiences including the arts, recreation, cultural studies, and voluntary community services. Seniors take part in Senior Trip.
