Anticipating Project Period
11/19/2007

If we had no off-campus programs in...say...Segovia, and Aix, and Guanacaste, and then on the North Atlantic and the American Southwest, our Project Period would be a marquee piece in our admission prochure. As it happens, we're doing so much experiential stuff, that Project Period needs to be profiled to be noticed. This week, students and families should be considering all the options for the third week in March. Sign-ups will proceed throughout the winter term. Perhaps yurt-to-yurt cross country skiing appeals?

At the end of today's page, I'll give you a link to detailed descriptions of PP '08 offerings, but in the meantime, here are some quick looks. You could tour Canadian cities.

There's an extraordinary option to perform real service in a Nicaraguan village.

Each project brings a fairly random group of kids together for a week of passionate focus. This means that ninth graders and seniors, girls and boys are brought together in new roles.

A story-telling project kept elementary school kids enraptured.

The classic project is maple sugaring. I mean, what else should people be doing in mid-March in New Hampshire, other than making syrup?

The school's 18-foot classic catboat, (which sails on Lake Sunapee,) gets attention.

Hilary and Lizie served up meals at the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club last year.

Sign-ups for projects will proceed throughout the winter term. This is Groton Plantation.

Oh, I promised a link to this year's project descriptions. Here you go:
