Jterm
With numerous offerings to choose from, this one-week program of in-depth study takes place in January after Christmas Break. Jterm promotes learning and discovery beyond the traditional courses. Our mission is to increase opportunities of learning and exploration that not only challenge students in areas of their interest but encourage deeper faculty-student relationships through enrichment electives, educational travel, service, mission trips, and Career Experience Opportunities.
Middle School Jterm Retreats
Students in grades 6-8 enjoy a fun, three-day retreat with their respective classes. They have a chance to grow spiritually, deepen friendships, try new things, and make incredible memories.

High School Jterm
High school students may choose to stay on/near campus to explore areas of interest through courses taught by faculty members or guest teachers. Students also have the opportunity to take a teacher-led trip across the U.S. or even to a different country! Local options range from the creative to the academic to the athletic with courses such as jewelry making, ice skating, cooking, song writing, mock trials, driving education, and much more.
