For ninety minutes students explore everything from tennis to environmental photography , from chorus , band and dance to taekwondo , drama , and art . The day finishes with swimming lessons, chess lessons and study hall tutorials. Every student is expected to complete an average of two hours of homework per night. All students are expected to attend Saturday school, unless prohibited by religious doctrine. In the fall, there are six Saturday sessions that focus on the high school admissions process.
Students take practice admission exams and review their academic strengths and weaknesses.
In the winter and early spring, Saturday school offerings vary. These classes often involve a guest lecturer followed by a skill assignment like writing a lab report or analyzing a spreadsheet. Saturday classes provide students with an opportunity to renew friendships they've developed over the summer and continue to improve their academic skills.
