The school community will ring in the holiday season at our annual event in the Chapel. Students and faculty offer readings as well as sing and play festive carols. The service - which originated in the King's College Chapel - symbolizes humanity's universal longing for peace. Following the service, students will enjoy a dance and holiday festivities!

After a week of exams, students leave for Winter Break and some much-deserved time off. The vacation concludes on January 5, 2026 (Boarding students must return by 9 p.m.).

Winter Break concludes as boarding students and faculty return to campus (boarding students return by 9 p.m.).
