Upper School Intersession

Are you ready to leave the classroom behind—to learn about the world by being in the world? Welcome to SSFS Intersession.

Intersession provides 9th-12th-grade students an educational experience liberated from classroom walls. By making the world an SSFS classroom, Intersession provides students an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of varied topics of study, other people, and themselves. Through this experiential learning program, Upper School students challenge themselves in countless ways: physical, cultural, intellectual, social, artistic, and community service. 

Intersession is designed to be an engaging educational experience, with recreation and entertainment playing subordinate roles. The intentional group aspect of Intersession places valuable peer learning and service to others front and center.
