  Graded Jazz Festival (Feb 26-28): is a special event that Graded has hosted for the past 13 years; we bring in professional jazz educators from the US and utilize widely acclaimed local jazz players to work closely with our students (this year, with international school students from Quito, Brasilia, and Caracas) teaching them the finer aspects of playing their instruments and understanding the jazz idiom. It is an incredible experience, and it is open to all qualified Graded music students. Students who would like to participate see Mr. Stange.
  Graded's Start-up, Stay-up (March 5-7) will be a student-led conference where students come together to work day and night for three days to create, design, and pitch a social entrepreneurship project to a panel of experts. Conference participants will register individually, or in small groups of up to three students, with an idea or framework for a social start-up that meets a need in their community. Student groups will work with mentors and consultants to develop their start-ups.
  Students will have plenty of time to work on their projects throughout the three days. One exciting feature to the conference will be that students have the opportunity to spend the night at Graded. We will provide space in our library for people to sleep. Graded will provide food, as well as chaperones, for the overnight stay. It will be a fun time to bond with all of the students who will be participating in the conference.
  A recent addition to our schedule is Mara Mourão (Director of the film Who Cares?) who will participate in a Q&A session with the student groups after a viewing of the movie. This is an exciting addition to an already dynamic schedule we have in store for the participants. Students can register here.
