Winterim, the five class days before spring vacation each year (March 13–20, 2008), is a time set aside in the OES Upper School to pursue different interests. Faculty and parents (and sometimes others) plan various courses. The listing of domestic and on-campus courses is published on this web page in November for the following March. International trips and expensive domestic trips are announced in the spring to allow additional time for planning. Some trips continue through spring vacation.
