Intersession Week Delivers Signature Experiences

Developing new skills and character traits is the goal of Intersession Week, a new initiative introduced alongside the Crescent Diploma. “Intersession Week allows us to press pause on our conventional academic program and offer a very different, but no less important or impactful, learning environment,” says Deputy Headmaster Nick Kovacs.
