Learning Outside the Classroom

This year’s Interim Studies period—10 days of hands-on learning at the end of the Winter Trimester where students get to select a faculty-created experience they’d like to try—allowed students to explore a wide range of adventures outside the classroom. Some learned about Adaptive Equestrian programs, created masterpieces in the style of Bob Ross, improved their photography skills, or dared to ice climb (like Zak Maxey ’23, above). Others upcycled fashion at the local Makers Mill, studied peace and sustainability at the UN, tried their hand at woodworking, earned their lifeguard certification, interned with local businesses, or got into dozens of other Interim Studies offerings that opened them to new ideas, skills, and even possible future careers.
