CLUBS AND AFFINITY
Clubs & Affinity Groups
At Calhoun, students explore their identities and delve into their passions through affinity spaces and clubs.
Affinity Groups
Across divisions, students come together outside of class time as part of Calhoun’s affinity group programming. Made up of peers and facilitators that share a common identity, affinity groups offer students a safe space to explore those identities and build community.
Programming for affinity groups is scaffolded as students grow, giving DPSI opportunities to explore their own identity development in a safe space, while discussing nuanced topics in age-appropriate ways. With the support of faculty facilitators to guide discussions, students build relationships, challenge their thinking and learn how to be allies.
While the experience of each group at each age level is unique, our affinity group programming plays an integral role in our continued work to create a more inclusive community and more just future for all.
Clubs
The uniqueness of our students is reflected in Calhoun’s Middle and Upper School club offerings, which vary from year to year depending on student interest. DPSI have the agency to create their own clubs for topics of their choosing and take on the responsibility of holding space and recruiting peers.
Topics run the gamut from language to theater to sports marketing, and many are inspired by courses that spark interest and inspire deeper investigation.
"Relationships are the heart of everything at DPSI. You learn to see that if you can form strong relationships, you’ll be okay."
