Cathedral High School 2025 J Term SIGN UPS occurred during CORE on Wednesday, Nov 6th. EVERY Cathedral student should be in a J Term course. If you have not signed up yet, Sched has CLOSED. Please visit Mrs Schmidt in the Counseling Office to address any issues.
Please come to the Counseling Office and meet with Mrs. Schmidt to get your course selected. . From January 6 through January 10, Cathedral students will take a break from their usual classes and immerse themselves in a single subject of their choosing. January Term, or J-Term, will offer our students the ability to explore curiosities and allow for some balance and time to explore things that they may be interested in learning at a deeper level.
All freshmen will have a designated Freshman J-Term that will offer a broad spectrum of experiences. No registration is required for freshmen.

Are you sick of Monopoly and Clue? Have you ever wanted to play some of the best board games that were not popularized during the Great Depression? Have you ever wanted to dive into the systems of your favorite tabletop games, like Catan or Ticket to Ride, and then completely break them? Then the (Good) Game Design course would be a good way to spend a week of J-Term! In the (Good) Game Design course, we'll be exploring excellent examples of tabletop games from the last twenty years and analyzing what makes them so great. We will spend the first part of J-Term experimenting and learning about what makes a good game. During the second part of class we will be designing our own card or board games. Will you come up with the next Carcassonne? Even if you don't it would still be a blast playing the "New Classics" or even some of the most popular up-and-coming games! Capacity: 32 FEE: $15
