Upper School Life & Community

Life in the Upper School is vibrant and welcoming. It’s a place defined by relationships, and where community building is woven into the daily experience.

Beyond the classroom, Upper Schoolers have myriad opportunities to explore their interests and passions, from clubs and affinity groups to a robust arts program. Our athletics program uses sports as a vehicle to empower students with leadership skills they can use both on and off the court, field or track.

One of my favorite things about Calhoun is if you take the initiative to start something, you can make a lot of change here.

Community Time & Town Meeting

Community Time is a dedicated period when all students are free to connect, meet with clubs or teachers, and attend regular Town Meetings. During weekly Town Meetings, the entire community comes together to talk about important issues, hear from guest speakers, or showcase their talents with one another.
