Interterm

Bethany's Interterm program that offers students hands-on experiential learning opportunities multiple times throughout the school year. Students will have the opportunity to experience, explore and learn outside of the typical classroom. For all students, our Interterm offers students unique, fun, and engaging educational opportunities both on and off campus. 

Whether students are baking cookies from around the world, learning the art of self-defense, riding to new destinations on two wheels, or flying drones they built themselves, Interterm is all about trying something new—and growing along the way.

Interterm I

Our first Interterm typically takes place in October for students in most grades. This hands-on experiential learning opportunity provides a variety of opportunities for students to participate in unique, fun and educational experiences both on and off campus. Many lower and middle school students will be involved in the Wilderness Experience as part of their Interterm I.

  • Outdoor Adventure, Disc Golf, Hiking the Dunes, or Bouldering 101

Interterm creating

At Bethany, Interterm is more than a break from routine—it’s a time to discover, create, and serve alongside teachers and classmates. These experiences reflect what we value most: curiosity, community, and the joy of learning that extends beyond the classroom.
