Senior Initiative
The senior initiative program is open to all second semester seniors. The intention is to provide students with an opportunity during their last semester at Dalton to engage in a project that will provide a significant educational and intellectual experience through which to conclude their academic careers. Projects can take several forms, including the expansion of a senior project, an internship, an independent study, a group seminar focused on a specific scholarly topic, or enrollment in classes outside the school which offer specific experiences unavailable within the High School's existing curriculum.
To be accepted into the program, seniors must be in good academic standing in all their classes, as of the end of the third quarter of the year. Additionally, they must complete their community service requirement by the Monday following spring vacation and must have an attendance record to classes and House that is free of unexcused cuts or lateness.
Students are required to meet with their faculty advisors at least once a week throughout the duration of the program. The evaluation process is accordingly ongoing, in order to ensure that everything is proceeding smoothly and satisfactorily.
