Field trips, to destinations near and far, are a ceremonial rite of passage for a Calhoun Middle Schooler. The opportunity to extend learning beyond the walls of the classroom stimulates students’ intellectual curiosity and allows them to develop a strong sense of community.
Calhoun's 85th Street STEAM lab allows Lower School students from our Montessori and Open Inquiry tracks to explore their curiosity while building important skills related to science, technology, engineering, art and math.
Our Montessori and Open Inquiry kindergartners came together for several math sessions to talk about how graphs work and what they do. To solidify what they learned, students embarked on a collaborative project to collect, organize and analyze data.
This year’s coaching development workshop focused on the mental health of student-athletes and normalizing the conversation around it; the goal was to best equip coaches with the tools to discuss the topic with student-athletes and support them through difficult times.
Students in the US Community Action elective and the Montessori elementary classroom worked together on a service project designed to spread kindness. They made greeting cards and delivered them to the seniors at a nearby assisted living residence – promoting multigenerational friendship in the neighborhood.
