J-Term - It's A Wrap!
J-Term finished with a flourish as students wowed with their passion and knowledge...
Ninth grade students just completed St. Luke's first January or J-Term session. According to Head of Upper School Liz Perry, J-Term began with this question: “What is possible when we remove the usual restrictions of the school day—50 minute periods, learning divided by subjects, everything gets a grade—to allow for a different kind of teaching and learning?”
The answer was an eight-day long immersive learning experience wherein students worked in teams to research and present solutions to a wide variety of human rights issues including: fresh water, hunger, gender and sexual rights, education, homelessness, women's rights, religious and racial discrimination.
The week of learning culminated in an exhibition where teams presented key findings and ideas for, in one student's words, "making a difference in this world."
Parts of J-Term were documented on video and will be shared with the community soon. Enjoy the above photos of the J-Term exhibition.
