Join us Wednesday evening via Zoom as Upper School students share what they learned during their recent Experience-Centered Seminars. Students will touch on essential questions from their seminars, challenges they faced, and reflections during and after their experiences. The evening will include videos from each ECS, as well as a student panel during which you may ask questions. All CSS families are invited.

For three weeks in March, students attended one of six seminars: Artful Recovery; The Science and Art of Rock Climbing; The Great Iron Pour; Playwriting and Performance; The Science and Statistics of Epidemics; and Wilderness Survival From Past to Present: Native Women to Mountain Men and Modern Day Adventurers in Colorado and Beyond.

ECSs approach broad, interdisciplinary questions to optimize the teaching of critical thinking, organized inquiry, in-depth analysis, and synthesis of information. They demand direct, active participation and primary research in an environment outside of the classroom. Academic requirements include oral and written presentations, term papers, group work and projects, or final exams. Click here to read ECS blogs written by students.

The ECS experience, which sets our students apart as they move into the collegiate world and beyond, is a continuum of seminar programs in Children's School and Middle School.
