“Intensive Learning fueled my passion for learning about other cultures and showed me the goodness of the world beyond MFS.” ~ Liz Boccolini ’11

Intensive Learning, A Long-Standing MFS Tradition

For one week each March, regular classes are suspended for “Intensive Learning,” when Middle and Upper School students and teachers engage in an in-depth study of a specific subject, often involving off-campus research. This long-standing MFS tradition — which dates back to the mid 1970s — allows teachers and students to break out of the structure of formal class periods and traditional study for a time of experiential learning. Both students and teachers are encouraged to view themselves as life-long learners and students of the world around them.
