Upper School Students
The upper school program deepens students’ engagement with identity, equity, and belonging through both choice and shared experience. Students begin by building community, then participate in workshops aligned with their interests, followed by affinity spaces and a collaborative session led by the Goss Twins. The day concludes with small-group courageous conversations, giving students time to reflect, connect, and consider how they can contribute to their communities.
