Nextterm

One course, three weeks, anywhere your mind can go. NextTerm is a threeweek immersive experience that allows students an in-depth exploration of a real-world topic. Ninth graders explore the dynamics of community using local metropolitan areas as their classroom. Tenth and eleventh graders select from a menu of courses that include studying global sustainability in London; sea turtles and the rainforest in Costa Rica; gender equity and quality of life in Denmark and Sweden; conservation biology and ecology in the National Parks; and resilience and diversity in New Orleans, Louisiana.

John Gale Hun Program For Civics Education

This endowed academic program exposes all Hun students to the virtues of American democracy. Through experiential activities on and off campus, students observe and interact with individuals at all levels of government, from local judges and mayors to members of the U.S. Congress. Sophomores visit the National Constitution Center and Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, while juniors visit at least one real-world branch of local government, such as the New Jersey State Supreme Court.

Community And Leadership

Students in ninth and tenth grades take a cluster of trimester courses intentionally designed to help build foundational skill for future success and assure competency with essential school values. From an introduction to the language of computer science and the practice of Harkness skill in Seminar, to important health and lifewellness topics, our younger students are nurtured through these unique courses.

Centennial Speaker Series

Each year, Hun welcomes extraordinary authors, artists, and thought leaders as part of our Centennial Speaker Series. The series exposes students to ideas and entertainment that will stretch their understanding of a range of real-world topics and issues. Speakers and performers have ranged from Hedley & Bennett founder Ellen Bennett and America’s Got Talent Golden Buzzer winner Mandy Harvey to Lin Manuel Miranda’s Broadway Improv Troupe Freestyle Love Supreme and NatGeo Adventurer of the Year Jennifer Pharr Davis.

Cultural Competence And Global Immersion

With students from more than twenty countries, diversity is a way of life at Hun. But our curriculum goes deeper, offering seminars on community and leadership. Students can take part in a Martin Luther King Jr. Leadership Summit, or travel around the world in our Global Immersions Program.
