An integral part of the Grace high school experience is Independent Project 10 (IP10), a yearlong, in-depth study of a student-chosen area of interest or inquiry, culminating in a symposium for friends, family, and Grace teachers and staff. Though IP10 as an academic pursuit may culminate in the 46 Cooper Square gym with exhibits and poster boards, many of the most successful projects are those that cultivate ongoing passion and discovery.
