Day in the Life: Upper School

  1. In the dorm, we start the day with quiet time and Bible Lesson study.
  2. Then, it’s off to classes.
  3. In physics, we enjoy figuring out how things work.
  4. Our college-prep math classes offer plenty of challenge and growth.
  5. Science classes regularly take learning outdoors.
  6. We love learning about civic life, politics, art, and architecture in and around St. Louis.
  7. In a Media Arts class, a visiting alum who’s a Hollywood producer helps us gain new perspectives.
  8. We often use morning Crew time for community service—such as making blankets to donate.
  9. Theatre classes give us the opportunity to write, direct, and produce plays—not just act in them.
  10. Lunch time is filled with conversation, smiles—and good food!
  11. A couple of times each semester, we put on our House colors and get into the spirit of friendly competition.
  12. We often bring inspiring visitors to campus—such as Eric Weihenmeyer, the first blind man to summit Mt. Everest.
  13. Robotics and computer coding are popular electives.
  14. Our percussion section prepares to rock the house
  15. Our visual arts program offers lots of choice for beginning and advanced artists.
  16. Working in the IDEA Center—during class and on our own—is always productive.
  17. With three seasons of sports and PE, every student has the opportunity to be active and develop skills.
  18. Our girls’ soccer team recently took 3rd at State.
  19. Rain or shine, our track athletes enjoy practices.
  20. There's time to relax between dinner and study hall.
  21. Most Wednesday evenings, we have student-led testimony meetings.
  22. After study hall, it’s fun to hang out with friends.
  23. Finally, a quick review of homework before lights out.
