Course Offerings

Senior Internship

During the last month of the school year, seniors may participate in an unpaid work experience outside the classroom. This experience allows students to explore career interests, practice independent decision-making, engage in hands-on learning, and build transition skills for life beyond Spire.

Following their internship, participating seniors present at the Senior Symposium, where they reflect on their experiences and share what they learned with staff and students.

Spire’s Senior Internship Experience helps students build responsibility, independence, real-world readiness, and confidence as they prepare for college, careers, or other post-secondary pathways.
