The 4th grade chorus performed at the opening of the 25th anniversary of the Japanese Cultural Exchange Assembly at Shapleigh School.  That's Ms. Segedy conducting the ensemble. 

Traip Academy Service-Learning Project

A true service-learning project must meet four criteria:

  • It must be student-initiated.
  • It must solve a problem.
  • It must have a curriculum connection.
  • It must involve a community partner. 
All sophomore advisors at Traip Academy execute a service-learning project through the Advisory Program.  this is just one example of so many worthwhile projects that have been executed at Traip Academy since this component of the curriculum was introduced in 2012 as part of the Vision for the Future.
