Hawthorn provides supervised time every morning before lunch to pause for a half-hour of enriched curriculum in the Upper School. Each student discerns the best use of this time, with the choice of silent reading of an inspiring novel or doing homework without a screen always being an option.
Participation in the celebration of Holy Mass in our beautiful central chapel is encouraged every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Our wonderful Schola Choir uses this time on Tuesdays and Thursdays to rehearse.
This daily enrichment period is one way in which we honour US students’ ability to make good decisions for their personal growth. We wish each of them a magnificent journey of learning this year!
