Intersession at EDS is a unique learning experience allowing Upper School students to see the world and learn outside the classroom. Each spring, EDS Upper School students select and embark on one of four annually constructed trips focused on experiential learning, each based on a different piece of the Portrait of a Graduate: Entrepreneurial Learning, Balanced, Resilient, and Globally-Minded. Intersession is an annual highlight of the Upper School experience and students play an active role in planning the details of the trips.
