Winter Trimester US Finals Schedule

As a school, we are always looking for ways to improve the student experience in our program and balance academic challenge with holistic student well-being. In response to concerns about stressors at the conclusion of each trimester, last year and again this fall we experimented with a model where concluding assessments were incorporated into classes. We have learned a lot from this effort, and received tons of feedback about the benefits and drawbacks of both models. This Winter Trimester, we will return to a special “finals” schedule for the last three days of the term in which concluding assessments and/or activities will be competed in each course. For logistical reasons, the week of March 3-5 will be completely remote, even if in prior weeks we have transitioned to a hybrid model where some students are learning on campus. Please see the schedule below and note the lengthened class and passing periods on March 3, 4 and 5.

Please note that Middle School students will not experience a “finals week”; their classes will continue as normal, just on this amended schedule.
