Winterim catalog is coming soon!

Our annual keystone experiential education program – Winterim – will officially launch within the next 10 days, via the Winterim Catalog of this year’s offerings.

What is Winterim, exactly? For four days in March, Monday, March 19 through Thursday, March 22, the Upper School will suspend regular classes and offer a variety of experiential learning opportunities outside the regular curriculum. Winterim seeks to immerse students in intensive experiential learning to further their education, intellectually, interpersonally, and physically. Winterim strives to stretch students in new and profound ways, as it promotes different perspectives through participation and experience. Students have generated ideas and collaborated with faculty members since November to create 20+ Winterim offerings. 

Once the catalog of these special activities is published, please review the offerings with your students, as they will sign up for their top eight choices during their regular C&C.

Contact Jessica Marlitt with any questions.
