Clubs and Affinity Spaces
Our clubs and affinity spaces are at the heart of student life in the Middle School and Upper Schools.
Middle School Clubs
Clubs are one of the best parts of life in the Middle School. We often have more than 20 student clubs — everything from Comedy Club to Waffle Club to a variety of action- and activism-based clubs that explore and support a range of meaningful issues. With a few exceptions, Middle School clubs are entirely student driven each year. Have an idea for a club? Start your own!

Middle School Affinity and Action Groups
Students participate in our Community & Action Program, which provides dedicated time for them to explore community partnerships and engage with topics that are directly connected to their experiences. The Middle School also offers a range of Affinity spaces and social action groups, each with a faculty leader.

Upper School Clubs
By uniting students with shared interests and causes, clubs offer a way for them to feel connected to each other and to their community. Clubs also provide many opportunities to practice leadership skills: working collaboratively, developing and articulating a vision for their work, building relationships with students, faculty, and community partners, and sustaining and increasing membership, planning and executing events, and following through.

Upper School Affinity Spaces
Affinity spaces are important spaces for students with similar and shared identifiers to discuss their experiences with those identifiers. They ensure a vital sense of connection and belonging while providing students with a safe space for candid conversation. Affinity spaces also provide opportunities to make change as members work to educate the community about their experiences and to promote policies that better meet their needs. In 2018-19, the new monthly Equity Council will help members leverage their collective voice and power.
