We are so thrilled to bring back our Outdoor Education program in the 21-22 school year! Due to the uncertainties of COVID-19, and the need to plan in advance, we moved our Middle and Upper School programs to March 2022, right before spring break. Eleventh graders will leave for their trip on Tuesday, March 15 and all other grades will leave on Wednesday, March 16. All Outdoor Education programs return to campus on Friday, March 18, 2022. Spring Break begins the following day. More information about these programs will be provided in the coming months.
