Winterim Catalog for 2012
Winterim, the six class days before spring vacation each year (March 15–22, 2012), is a time set aside in the OES Upper School to pursue different interests. Faculty and parents (and sometimes others) plan various courses.
The Winterim Catalog is posted in two parts. The first, posted in June, describes the International Trips. We do those early to allow students and families to plan money and give students the opportunity to earn some money toward the trip. Registration for International Trips occurs in September 2011. Tne second part of the catalog will be posted in early November and contains descriptions of all other courses. The second part of the catalog describes about 90 percent of the total number of couses. These courses are substantially less expensive. Registration occurs before Thanksgiving.
