On Thursday, Class VIII students presented their Independent Learning Experience projects to their advisory groups, advisors, many family members and friends! Then, on Friday, they presented their work to the entire school at the ILE fair, hosting stations for other students to ask questions about their research. The seniors use the month of May to work on an area of their choosing, on or off campus, that will positively develop their worldview and give them hands on experience in a specific field. The projects end with this presentation, followed by a dinner celebration of the Class of 2025!
