Tower Term

Tower Term is a unique opportunity offered to all students in the Upper School and is a chance for the Tower Hill community to explore learning together in an interdisciplinary, experiential way. This time allows for creative and dynamic programming that promotes deep engagement, critical thinking and real-life application. Students and faculty explore ideas, take risks and run experiments. These courses set the stage for collaborative, interdepartmental, student-driven activities that provide diversified preparation for lifelong learning and personal growth.
