Upper School Project Week
up front
In March, upper school students embarked
on an amazing array of local, national
and international study opportunities for
Project Week 2011.
Since 1972, Project Week has been a
unique Latin offering focused on providing
students with access to educational experiences
that our normal program cannot easily
provide. The experiences are designed to offer
opportunities that may require physical
endurance, promote cultural awareness, provide
artistic or creative opportunities, encourage
career preparation through internships or offer
in-depth academic investigation.
