Interest Groups
At USJ, learning extends beyond the classroom. Our Middle School Interest Groups provide students with opportunities to explore their passions, discover new interests, and connect with classmates who share similar curiosities.
Interest Groups are designed to give students a voice in their learning experience. Throughout the year, students can choose from a variety of topics and activities led by faculty members who share their enthusiasm and expertise. Whether exploring creative arts, technology, service projects, outdoor activities, or academic interests, these groups allow students to dive deeper into subjects that inspire them.
