J-TERM 2021

EXPANDING HORIZONS CLOSE TO HOME

By Heather Bennett, Communications

Challenging, fun, life-changing, deep, communal, inspiring, practical. These words and more can be used to describe the J-Term (January Term) experience at LRCA. J-Term gives high school students an opportunity to serve, to travel, to learn in areas of passion or interest, to go deeper into a subject, to practice skills, to grow spiritually, and to develop new relationships, new insights, and a renewed enthusiasm for learning. Some of the most memorable experiences of high school life are created during J-Term each year.

Although the global situation dictated J-Term activities remain in The Natural State this year, faculty and staff worked hard to keep the home fires burning with an exciting assortment of classes. Internships were handled as independent studies.
