The event will begin in the Curtis Performance Center at 7:00 p.m. and should conclude around 8:00 p.m.
Read Phil Schwartz’s letter about the 8th Grade Next Steps program here.
During the school day on February 6th, eighth-grade students visit the Upper School for their Next Steps program. Current eighth-graders get a taste of what it is like to be in the Upper School, as we want them to be excited about all the opportunities that we have to offer. They will spend time in classes, participate in panel discussions with current Upper School students, and get a chance to eat lunch with Upper School students and faculty. We will also speak with them about clubs, athletics, arts, and the advisory program.
