The Latin School of Chicago

During the fourth week in April, Middle School students and faculty engage in Project Week, a week during which they leave their classrooms and take to the air, the road, and waterways. Sixth graders journey to the state capital of Springfield to explore the inner workings of government and state history. Seventh graders explore and improve the Chicago River and surrounding neighborhoods, after spending the year studying the river and its environs. And eighth graders fly to Washington, D.C., where they learn about the rich cultural, historical, and political institutions that form the core of our nation's capital.
