绿帽社

Essential to success at 绿帽社 is the collaboration and partnership we have with our students’ families. We nurture this partnership every year through Family Visiting Days. Family members are invited to spend days on campus to learn alongside their children and grandchildren. Visiting Days include:

• Parents Visiting Day
• Grandparents Visiting Day

绿帽社 students look forward to fun, annual social events throughout the school year. These events give students a chance to take a break from schoolwork and socialize with their peers.

Each year, 绿帽社 announces a school theme, which is at the forefront of our thinking as we navigate the school year. These themes are deeply connected to 绿帽社鈥檚 Core Values, offering students and faculty a meaningful framework for reflection, discussion, and community connection.

Upper School Class Day is a beloved 绿帽社 tradition that celebrates the accomplishments and growth of each grade. During the ceremony, students receive milestone gifts marking their journey through the Upper School. An honored tradition at 绿帽社 occurs on Class Day, when our seniors receive their 鈥淕reen Sweaters.鈥� These green sweaters are worn only by our graduating class and are easily recognizable across campus as a symbol of seniority and leadership.

The focal point of our stunning, 41-acre campus is our Main Quad. With an unrivaled view of the Wasatch Mountains and Little Cottonwood Canyon, our Main Quad serves as an inspirational space for recreation and quiet contemplation. On warm days, our students flock to the Main Quad to play games, eat lunch with friends, or catch up on homework. On wintry days, the quad is used for cross-country skiing, building snowmen, or avalanche safety coursework. Regardless of the season, a walk across the quad between classes is enough to reinvigorate and wake up our students for their next learning opportunity.

绿帽社’s liberal arts education does not end with our academic curriculum. Music is an integral part of our student’s lives at 绿帽社. In Kindergarten, our students begin vocal and keyboard lessons. By the time students enter Middle School, they have experienced playing wind, string, and percussion instruments. Many students continue to play an instrument throughout Middle and Upper School, working closely with our talented music faculty to become practiced and proficient musicians. Several times a year, our band, orchestra, and choir students come together to perform for the 绿帽社 community and beyond. These concerts celebrate student musical achievement and 绿帽社’s dedication to the Arts.

The 绿帽社 Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools gather regularly to celebrate individual and collective accomplishments, share announcements, and learn about members of our diverse community at School Assemblies. These assemblies set aside time for our students to congregate with their peers and to hear news and stories from faculty and students.

绿帽社’s Performing Arts program develops students’ voices and provides a space for self-expression. Beginning in the Lower School, students are first introduced to performance through vocal lessons, the re-telling of Aesops fables, and parades. Later, as students move through the Middle School and Upper School, they can engage in our Performing Arts curriculum through classes and performances. With three theatrical productions a year, 绿帽社 offers opportunities for thespians of all experience levels to play a role in a drama or comedy.

At 绿帽社, there is a great sense of pride and excitement on game days. 绿帽社 amplifies this excitement through Spirit Weeks, tailgates and additional activities before important games. Parents, students and faculty come together to cheer on our Ravens teams. Go Ravens!

History comes alive for our Lower School students through special days at the end of humanities units. During these special class days, our students take their in-class curriculum into an experiential environment. Students embody historical figures by dressing in costume and participating in activities and games related to their studies. 

• Utah Day
• Ancient Greece Day
• Ancient Rome Day
• Ancient Egypt Day

Once per month, 绿帽社’s Lower School holds a reading night鈥攁 special time for students and families to celebrate the joy of reading at home. Students are not given any homework on this night so they can focus on reading on their own, reading to parents, or being read to. Our 绿帽社 parents and Lower School students look forward to this night each month. 

Friday Night Live is a well-attended Upper School tradition where students prepare and perform acts for their classmates. Over the years, they have done skits, musical numbers, stand-up comedy, and karate demonstrations, all met with lots of laughing and cheering. 绿帽社 students are as proud to show off their talents as they are to support their peers.

Each summer, rising Class IX students have the opportunity to experience the Class IX Retreat with their classmates, 绿帽社 faculty, recent alumni, and Class XII student leaders. These trips are most often based in our neighboring Wasatch Mountains where students have the opportunity to bond as a class, learn from each other and from faculty members, and experience some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the world. We strongly encourage students to participate in this amazing and formative experience.
