Week Without Walls (WWW) is an exclusive opportunity offered to students in grades 6th through 12th. It provides a chance for our students to step outside the traditional classroom setting and engage in meaningful experiences that promote personal growth and learning.
During Week Without Walls, students participate in carefully planned trips and activities designed to nurture positive relationships, inclusivity among classmates, and leadership opportunities. These annual excursions aim to enhance recreational skills while encouraging reflection and independence among our students.
We believe that Week Without Walls offers more than just a break from routine. It's an opportunity for our students to form lasting friendships, develop essential life skills, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the changing world around them.
Discover the 2023 Week Without Walls experiences shared by our students to learn more about the program:
Day trips are designed as extensions of academic content, intended to enhance our students' learning experiences. Teachers can lead the educational component independently, collaborate with external educators or agencies for further enrichment, or visit sites offering comprehensive educational programming. This approach ensures a comprehensive and enriching academic experience for our students.
