Every spring College Prep takes a pause for Intraterm, an intensive one-week learning experience. The week is designed for intellectual risk-taking and serves as an ungraded opportunity to stretch academic, artistic, culinary, and athletic boundaries and try new ideas. Students have the opportunity for experiential learning, the mastery of practical skills, and the chance to learn something that might fall outside the scope of the classroom. This year there were 27 classes and 12 trips to choose from:
