Explorations

Explorations are an integral part of our upper school experience. Each semester students select from a wide variety of project-based electives. Each subject is deeply rooted in developing skills our students will need to thrive in the 21st Century such as creativity, collaboration and communication. Some examples below:

Chess Club:
More than just a game, chess provides many benefits beyond academics. Chess provides a tactical mindset that leads to knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced, and reflective.
