Hands-on Learning, literally!
 
At the Washington School for Girls, we value experiential learning and the opportunity for students to be active participants in the classroom. When we adopted the balanced calendar model over seven years ago, we created two weeks of additional experiential learning time called “Intersession,” which takes place one week before our fall and spring breaks.

In late March, students participated in a full week of field trips, outdoor activities, and collaborative learning. Off-campus adventures included trips to the Baltimore National Aquarium, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the National Arboretum. On campus, students completed art projects, worked together to solve escape room puzzles, and had a blast playing bubble soccer.
