By The Numbers

In January 2023, 819 students chose from 43 courses including Food Chemistry & Global Perspectives, Sports Medicine, Storytelling Through Filmmaking, Literature & Ecology of Fly Fishing, Disaster Management, Entrepreneurship, Innovations in Vehicle Design, and myriad other options blending experiential learning across a wide array of disciplines. 

Each course participated in field trips as part of their curriculum, some within the Atlanta area and others throughout the United States and beyond. Collectively, students took more than 200 field trips to places like Florida’s coastal regions to study biodiversity, the Coca-Cola headquarters, and Broadway in New York City. Students met with prominent leaders of Atlanta's business and cultural communities and experts in a variety of fields. International JanTerm courses took students to countries like Czech Republic and Poland to learn about the Jewish experience and antisemitism from antiquity to present, and England to explore the country’s shifting landscapes and sacred spaces. In addition, nearly 100 speakers presented to classes.

JanTerm also offers students the opportunity to participate in internships tailored to their specific interests. This year, 27 eleventh and twelfth graders completed internships, broadening their horizons and learning real-world lessons in a variety of fields.
