| Agora is around the corner Agora is a longstanding tradition that occurs every-other-year at the junior/senior high school. Named for the Greek marketplace where people would meet to exchange goods and ideas, Agora has always existed to provide a forum for students to experience ideas outside the traditional classroom. During Agora week, students are afforded opportunities to travel domestically and internationally on educational faculty-led trips or participate in experiences that expand the depth and breadth of learning on and near our campus. |
