Experiential Week (E-week) is a time when all regular Middle School classes pause, and all Middle School students participate in immersive interdisciplinary and experiential learning. Each year, students eagerly anticipate the E-week Catalog and choose from programs focused on arts, wilderness expeditions, intercultural immersions, or—in the case of many programs—a blend of these. E-week programs often integrate studies of academic questions rooted in curriculum, with immersive experiences in unfamiliar learning environments to allow time for further reflection, acquisition and application of new skills and knowledge, forming of relationships with new cultural communities, and explorations and studies of new landscapes.
