Calhoun Stories

A group of seventh graders, led by Imani W. and Simone A., initiated a partnership with Aunt Flow to bring easily accessible menstrual products to the MS and US student bathrooms. 

For Calhoun's 125th anniversary, we sat down with a few of our history teachers to learn more about how they teach students to understand the complexities of the past and apply those lessons to the present. With their different academic and personal backgrounds, each teacher has a unique perspective on how to cover history in the classroom.

Student voices were at the center of the Upper School Theater’s One Act Festival, which featured five short plays written and directed by our very own Cougar playwrights.

In the 74th Street STEAM lab, kindergartners learned to program Blue-Bot robots to travel between their initials on an alphabet map and then created artistic representations of their unique codes.

Early childhood teachers share how informal assessments give them a close understanding of each student's progress and development, helping them in turn foster children's deep engagement with the material.

An interdisciplinary cell membrane video project challenges 8th graders to apply their knowledge in ways that are meaningful, interconnected, and applicable to the world beyond the classroom.
