Each student will have the chance to engage in long-term, interdisciplinary projects with community partners in Columbus and abroad, with continuous guidance and interaction from teachers. In 11th grade, students travel to their project destinations during the last two weeks of May, fully immersing themselves in the project to complete their research or community initiatives. Upon returning to Columbus, students will present their work to our community during a Global Showcase. Students also have the opportunity to integrate these projects into existing independent science research or independent studies.
