Our Culture Weeks are an opportunity for our whole school to come together around the foundational habits that we all share, and that make Great Hearts Irving unique—the virtues. The goal of our Culture Weeks is for our students and faculty to join together once a quarter across all grade levels and wonder together about the virtues present in a great work from the western tradition.
On Wednesday, our Middle School scholars will engage in seminars led by our High School senators, and, on Thursday, they will hear a lecture over the text. On Friday, they will gather together with the High School for joint House Games. The winner of these games enjoys the glory of victory and will earn points towards the highly-prized House Cup.
In lieu of Lyceum Culture Week activities, on Friday, our High School scholars will commence the day on the Beatrice turf with coffee and donuts after which they will enjoy seminars and a lecture assembly before House Games.
Culture Week I: August 25-29, Reading: The Quality of Mercy
