Endterm

Expand Horizons, Follow Passions, Learn by Doing

Experiential Learning

Endterm is a three-week period at the end of each school year devoted to experiential learning and a time for students to pursue their passions and explore their creativity. During a recent Endterm, Waring students built a skiff, interviewed political candidates, created video games, wrote novellas, sewed rompers, travelled to Canada, designed theater sets, programmed robots, studied the World Cup, recreated historical photographs, and pondered the good life.
