Each class participates in a spring Interim
project designed to help students develop competencies and
confidence beyond the classroom environment.
For the 2006–07 school year:
The 9th- and
10th-grades traveled
to Dauphin Island Sea Lab (in the Gulf of Mexico) for a powerful
bonding experience and an opportunity for scientific investigation.
The 11th-grade
undertook a four-day, hands-on leadership workshop.
The 12th-grade
participated in the Capstone Exercise (independent
senior project). Collegiate seniors last year embarked on
their Capstone Projects in March and May. Capstone is an independent
project that allows each senior the chance to dive into an
area of study that interests him or her. Just three days before
Graduation, the seniors present their projects in the Upper
School Commons to their Upper School faculty.
