Semester schools are inspired by collegiate semester abroad programs but adapted for high school students. They offer a full semester of academic credit as well as a wealth of knowledge and new experiences for students, who then return to their four-year institutions.
In its first year, all CWS students were from Gunston; in future years, the program will welcome students from around the region and beyond. The next CWS will be in fall 2019.
