Chemical reactions with Dr. T.

College and Career Updates
What is a Gap Year, and has your student ever considered it?
A Gap year is a semester or year of experiential learning, a time for young students to explore the world, find their interests, and gain greater understanding of themselves and the areas of study they may want to pursue in college and life. Gap Years are a real fit for some students and many colleges and universities support these decisions.
To learn more about Gap Years, attend the Bay Area USA Gap Year Fair hosted at the Athenian School on Sunday, February 24 from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. To RSVP and learn more, select USA Gap Year.
Career Exploration Lunchtime Speaker Series: Nursing
Alumnae Christina Garner '11 from Alta Bates Summit Health, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, will visit Carondelet to talk with students about her career in nursing. If your daughter thinks she may be interested in a career in health care, we hope you will encourage her to attend this lunchtime speaker series on Wednesday, February 20 during lunch.
Our Calendar is now online!
