Student Activities
Rabun Gap has a dedicated Director of Student Activities in our Student Life Office who organizes epic trips and events for our Upper School students. The fun ranges from trips to see the Savannah Bananas or a Broadway show to on-campus events like student band performances, socials, and even a magic show!
The Afternoon Program
Learning does not stop when the traditional school day ends. Our afternoon program is a major component of the Rabun Gap curriculum and experience, allowing students to dive deeper into areas that interest them. Students explore new horizons, develop their talents, and make friends in other classes as they play soccer, paddle in Indian Lake, act as stewards of our beautiful surroundings, or learn to fly through the air in a circus arts show.
