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.
