Dear Upper School Parents & Students, 

Congratulations on a tremendous Special Studies week! While some are not quite yet home, our annual week of Learning Lived outside of the classroom is wrapping up. An extraordinary amount of work goes into the planning, preparation, and execution of Special Studies–thank you to our faculty leaders and chaperones for their dedicated efforts. None of this would have been possible without you! 

Please enjoy some pictures from the group experiences this week. I hope to be able to gather/share some photos from students who participated in Individual College Searches and Internships in the Upstate soon!
