Daily Life
Classes are scheduled Monday through Saturday (some Saturdays are set aside for alternative programming), with half days on Wednesdays and Saturdays to accommodate sports events. The daily schedule includes seven periods. All-school meetings take place twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Scheduled community times and advisor/advisee dinners occur occasionally throughout the year. Sports and activities meet every day for two hours in the afternoon except on Wednesday and Saturdays when games take place.
There is a dedicated period at the end of the day for performing arts and activities, enabling them to meet without conflicts. Dinner, which is served at 5:30 p.m., is family-style or formal on occasion but remains informal, cafeteria-style the majority of the days. The evening study hall is from 8:00 to 10:00, and students must check into their dorms by 10. Freshman through senior evening schedules are adjusted appropriately for grade.

Famous quotes related to daily life:
“Dutch painting: daily life is enough.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don’t see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.”
—Donald Sinden (b. 1923)
