Launched in 2010, Interim Term is a foundational program offering Upper and Middle School students a variety of global and domestic opportunities to explore passions, integrate disciplines, develop cultural and historical perspectives, expand empathy muscles, and serve the public good.
Middle School Interim experiences transcend traditional notions of education, offering students a journey of discovery, growth, and transformation. Rooted in the School’s mission to prepare future leaders, these experiences not only foster academic excellence but also cultivate essential skills and attributes such as resilience, empathy, and curiosity. As students navigate through challenges, forge connections, and explore the world around them, they emerge not just as scholars but as empowered individuals ready to make a meaningful impact on the world.
