Each quarter, students study a specific theme and/or solve a real-life problem that is an integration of what they have learned in their classes. In Project Group, students apply what they have learned throughout the day by participating in hands-on projects. It is not unusual to see the students building, painting, or performing during this time. Each quarterly theme culminates in an evening academic performance, or Summative. Past projects include:
