Exhibitions
Three times a year, all students share the results of their long-term projects at evening Exhibitions. Projects include primary source research, science experiments, research papers, essays, teaching units, works of art, mathematics explorations, creative writing and poetry, engineering solutions, and short films. Students talk with guests throughout the evening about the work, explaining and defending their learning.
Parents, friends, interested educators, prospective families, and many others come to learn from our students and give feedback on their efforts. Exhibitions provide an authentic and meaningful goal towards which students work.
Exhibitions are scheduled each December, March, and June. To be notified about upcoming exhibitions, sign up for news here.
Exhibitions are in person, but during the first stages of the Covid pandemic, while classes were mostly in person, Exhibition Evening was too popular and crowded and needed to be online. Click below to see the incredible breadth and depth of all of the work shared during those exhibitions:
