Are you an educator who enjoys thinking outside the box, learning new skills, and is looking to bring your curriculum to life in a new and exciting way?
In 2020 Xaverian opened and staffed the X-Ploration Center, a multi-disciplinary innovation space for all grade levels. It’s currently one of our busiest areas on campus; last year more than 700 classes and a variety of co-curricular club meetings and events took place here.
We hope you’ll join us for this fun and informative workshop this summer!
