Upper School Project Week
Project Week provides students in grades 9-12 with unique opportunities
to enjoy alternative educational experiences outside the classroom during
one week each spring. Students have a wide range of in-town and out-of-town
activities from which to choose; Project Week endeavors may require physical
endurance, promote cultural awareness, provide artistic/creative opportunities,
encourage career/internship preparation, or offer in-depth academic investigation.
A brochure is sent home in the fall describing the activities planned, and students
and parents are asked to make a selection. Project Week is required every
year and is graded pass/fail.
Middle School Project Week
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.
