Lunch (approx 30 min/day) – Most lunches will be open: students may bring their own or go to a local place to pick something up.

Our final lunch will be all together so students can enjoy a moment breaking bread all together while talking about what they’ve learned through directed discussion and celebrating their achievement (1.5 hours).
