Intersession
Intersession is our two-week immersive learning program in January, where students and teachers dive deep
into inquiry-based courses, life-changing cultural travel, or engaging internships.
For our 6th and 7th Graders, Field Intersession is an extension of a yearlong inquiry project. The two weeks
of Intersession allow them to dive deeper into fieldwork supporting their project. Students build projectmanagement, communication, collaboration, design-thinking, and research skills.
Eighth Graders embark on a weeklong journey to
Costa Rica during Intersession. This immersive
science and service-learning program emerges from
Field's commitment to experiential, interdisciplinary
learning. It is an extension of our middle school
science curriculum that looks at human impacts on
the planet. Students immerse themselves in the
Costa Rican environment and ecosystem and live
comfortably off the grid. They work in partnership
with a local indigenous community on economic,
ecological, and cultural sustainability projects.
Students ultimately develop cross-cultural understanding through the mutual sharing of stories and
experiences. It's a transformative adventure in
personal discovery, leadership-building, and design
thinking.
