All students are required to participate in interim every year in the Upper School. During three weeks in May, seniors design and implement an independent learning program known as the Senior Project. Students are assigned to advisee groups with approximately 10 other members from their grade. Either student or advisor may initiate a change in this assignment by contacting the Principal. The advisor serves as the student's and family's first point of contact when a problem arises at school.
Students meet with their advisor during advisee period several times per week.
Attendance at meetings of the advisory is mandatory. Every student in the Upper School participates in the community service program. On designated days throughout the school year, freshman and sophomore advisee groups work in the community through agencies they have chosen. Juniors and seniors perform their community service work independently outside the scheduled days and must accumulate 30 service hours per year. Many students find that involvement in cocurricular activities enhances their Upper School experience.
