The Inaugural Independent Seminar

This fall eleven Westtown students will collaboratively pursue individual projects as a part of their regular academic load. To be accepted into the class each student developed a proposal, found a mentor outside of the Westtown faculty and staff, created a time line for the project, and asked for letters of support from department chairs, parents, and advisers. The selection committee included me, Upper School Principal Eric Mayer and Upper School Director of Studies Karen Gallagher.
