Winterim is a weeklong program that provides Upper and Middle School students with a curriculum for learning outside the classroom.
Upper School
All Upper School students participate by choosing to take a Winterim course or complete a business or community service internship. The mission of the Winterim program runs parallel to the school's mission: the Winterim course offerings are designed to have a positive impact on our students so that they will, in return, have a positive impact on the world around them. These courses support the school's mission and promote one or more of the following:
- Social awareness and action
- Personal growth
- Problem solving
- Forging community connections

Middle School
Students in the Middle School enjoy a Winterim experience that provides them with opportunities to participate in community service, environmental education, team building, and leadership activities. Winterim events vary from year to year; past activitities have included the chance to explore the Charleston Collegiate outdoor classroom, downtown Charleston, and other areas throughout the Lowcountry and even take overnight trips to camps around the East Coast. Winterim is an exciting opportunity for Middle School students to foster relationships with each other and their teachers unlike the traditional ones formed in the classroom, as well as visit places that they may never before have had the opportunity to explore.
