Freshmen also have a seminar series called Ninth Grade X Block. In this series, ninth graders will be participating in various exercises that will help them become more responsible students and members of the Sage Hill School community. Ninth Grade X Block seminars address a range of topics including study skills, technology, and critical thinking. The time and space X Block creates for our student community furthers our commitment to balance. Most X Blocks have planned events for students. If the time is not scheduled, we still recommend that students take advantage of the opportunity to study, attend club meetings and/or do collaborative work, but attendance will not be required.
