The Term Project Glass Blowing & Fusing gave students in Grades 9–11 the chance to explore the art of working with glass through hands-on experiences both on and off campus. During visits to the Bay Area Glass Institute, students learned the basics of glass blowing and created their own glass orbs. Back on campus, they experimented with glass fusion, creating jewelry, landscapes, and other unique pieces in the kiln. The week wrapped up with a Glass Showcase, where students displayed their finished work and celebrated a week of creativity, craftsmanship, and learning. Check out our blog to learn more about their Term Project experience. Link in bio. #TermProject #GlassBlowing #GlassFusion #HandsOnLearning

Term Project Spotlight! Our students in the Sports Careers Behind the Game Term Project (G9-G11) are getting an inside look at what it takes to run a professional sports organization. This week, they are visiting some of the Bay Area’s most iconic venues, including SAP Center, Levi’s Stadium, and Excite Ballpark, to explore the many careers that make game day possible. From marketing and media to event operations and facility management, students are discovering that there’s much more to sports than what happens on the field, court, or ice. This hands-on experience is helping them explore exciting career pathways throughout the sports industry. #TermProjectWeek #SportsCareers #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #CareerExploration

The Seed to Sprout Term Project at our Lower School campus spent the day at Tru2Earth Farm, bringing their classroom learning to life. Students explored the farm, learned more about plant growth, and enjoyed picking fresh berries straight from the field. From seeds to sprouts and everything in between, it was a fun day of hands-on learning and discovering more about the natural world around them. #TermProjectWeek #SeedToSprout #HandsOnLearning #FieldTripFun #LearningBeyondTheClassroom

Term Project Spotlights! In Celebration of AAPI (Grades 6–11), students celebrated Japan Day by learning about Japanese culture through one of its most iconic foods—sushi. After learning about its history and significance, they had the opportunity to make and taste their own creations. In Life in the Ancient World (Grades 4–5), students explored Chinese symbolism and the tradition of kite making. They designed and built their own traditional Chinese kites before taking them outside to fly them on the lawn. #TermProjects #StudentLearning #BISV
