Junior Exhibition Day—Monday, March 16—Canceled
Junior Exhibition Day
Canceled
In 11th grade, students are required to complete a multi-faceted project, called an Exhibition, through which students execute in-depth research into a topic about which they are passionate. Exhibition assessment is based both on a written component (8–12 pages) and on an oral presentation (20–25 minutes) and includes face-to-face feedback and evaluation from a jury of teachers. Successful completion of the Exhibition requires students to work independently, develop a thesis, think creatively, research complex topics, synthesize information from a variety of sources, and present confidently to an audience of faculty and peers.
