Quick Answer for Busy Parents
Immersives is a two-week, end-of-year program at The Branson School where students in every grade explore one field of study through cross-disciplinary courses co-taught by faculty and staff. About 30 courses are offered each year, and offerings change from year to year.
What Are Immersives?
Branson describes Immersives as four things at once: an exploration for students, an incubator of ideas for teachers, a way to bring new people and grades together, and a community-wide academic celebration at the end of each year. The program launched with its first catalog in spring 2022.
