Beyond athletics, students have many areas in which to express and develop their interests. From Model United Nations to tutoring young children at a nearby church, students are encouraged to look beyond their school's walls for experience and skills. In the early winter, grade 8-12 students have a day-long Symposium where local artists, scientists, and everyone in between are brought to present "mini-courses" in their field of expertise.
Yearbook and Journalism might take a trip to New York City to learn about the latest advances. Students might decide to spend a spring break in China or France with faculty chaperones. Middle Schoolers sort through boxes of robot parts before tackling the latest First Robotics competition. In a nutshell, North Cross recognizes that there are many places that can be called "classrooms," and we encourage our students to explore them all. In the summer, upper schoolers can apply to one of many internships at local businesses or organizations. Past opportunities have included work at Mill Mountain Theatre; Novozymes Biological, Inc.; Roanoke County; Woods Rogers Vandeventer Black Law Firm; Punch Boutique; and The Science Museum of Western Virginia, to name a few. |
