STUDENT LIFE AND BELONGING
CHALLENGE WEEK 2025
Our Grade 6 to 10 students and teachers are getting very excited for their upcoming Challenge Week trips. Challenge Week 2025 takes place from Monday, May 5 to Friday, May 9, 2025 (please note: some trips depart or return on the weekends). Each year, this unique experiential program, offers a variety of curriculum-linked trips throughout North America for students in Grades 6 to 10 during the first week of May. Challenge Week integrates the philosophy of the Middle Years Program (MYP) with our experiential approach to learning, and directly supports our school’s mission “to nurture curious learners to become globally minded leaders with integrity and purpose.” The lead chaperones of each Challenge Week trip will be in touch soon (about a week in advance of the trip) to share final reminders and trip details (including meeting times, final itineraries, emergency contact information, and packing lists). Students will also participate in their final regular Challenge Week student meeting on Wednesday, April 30 during the assembly period to review trip details with trip chaperones.
