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.

“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.”

“There was a heavy power in her eyes which laid hold of his whole being, as if he had drunk some powerful drug. He had been feeling weak and done before. Now the life came back into him, he felt delivered from his own fretted, daily self.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
