Upper School Internships
Tuesday, May 9, 2017
Upper School students have been hard at work at their internship sites all year long. They spend three hours, twice a week, at their internship sites (completing 180 hours over the year.)
Students delve into an industry that interests them, learning work skills while also building their resumes, work relationships, and career aspirations. Internship sites this year include Joe's Record Paradise, Theatre Lab, Brookside Gardens, East City Bookshop, The Studio Grooming Salon, and many, many more. Middle Schoolers have also begun their two-month internship stint, and are enjoying themselves at a variety of area businesses!READ MORE
