Week Without Bells Grades 11 and 12

While half the HS is away, the Grade 11 and 12 students are experiencing Week Without Bells.  For the first 2 days, these students will attend all classes as regularly scheduled.  On Wednesday, Grade 11 students will attend all classes in an A-H schedule while Grade 12 students focus on their Extended Essays and college applications.

On Thursday and Friday, Grade 11 students will be participating in a 2-day retreat.  There schedule is shown below, and students are divided into full IB students and those that are an AP/IB mix.  It is an exciting mix of activities focused on Creativity, Activity and Service.

On Thursday and Friday, Grade 12 students will be working on their IB Science Group 4 projects.  This is a collaborative project done in the 2nd year of IB Science that allows students from different IB science classes (Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, and Physics which IB calls the “Group 4: Experimental Sciences”) to work together to conduct an investigation and experiment on a common topic or problem.  The Group 4 project focuses on the process of science rather than the product of science and serves to emphasize the collaborative and cross-disciplinary nature of science work.  These hard working scientists will be displaying the results of the Group 4 experience on Thursday, October 5th starting at 6pm.
