Project Week 2020 is one week away!

In just one week, New Hampton School students will be embarking on a week-long experiential learning journey. 

The purpose of Project Week is to provide all students and faculty time for an extended and vigorous investigation of an essential question

through outstanding educational opportunities that are not possible in the standard classroom setting. Students engage in self-directed learning with appropriate adult guidance, and they self-reflect about the process, experience, and outcomes of their project throughout the week. Students will demonstrate the competencies they have learned during project week and reflect on their experience.

Project Week also allows us to dynamically pursue the New Hampton School mission of cultivating lifelong learners who will serve as active global citizens using project-based and experiential learning methods.
