Our selected culture of study for the 2008-2009 school year was India. Students explored the traditional arts and crafts of India, participated in cross-curricular activities and engaged in charitable projects linking the school community and the culture of study. We payed particular attention to the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s visit to India in 1959, and the connections between the Civil Rights movement in the U.S.A and Mahatma Gandhi's policy of satyagraha (non-violent civil disobedience). A culminating event was held at theWalters Art Museum in May 2009.
