Important Announcement about Changes to Upper School End-of-Year Calendar:
The US academic year will now end 1 week earlier on May 21, 2026.
 
The construction of our new expansion to the Matt and Linda Gossage Upper School building is progressing according to schedule and on time ahead of the 2026-27 academic year.
 
The Upper School spaces in our current building will also undergo substantial remodeling and upgrades, and this work will occur this summer to ensure the building is ready to welcome students again for a timely August kickoff of the 2026-27 academic year. Construction needs will require us to remain flexible and adjust to the project’s requirements.
 
To accommodate the work and ensure the current building’s remodeling is ready for an August back-to-school opening, we will need to make the following two important changes to our US schedule:
 
End the school year on Thursday, May 21, a day before Commencement on May 22nd.
Move up our US final exam week by one week to May 18-21.
 
The updated end-of-year Upper School schedule for the week of May 18th-22nd is now this:
