EMC (English-Math Class) provides focused help in math, reading and writing ina small group setting, co-taught by a math and English teacher. SOAR focuses on developing and practicing executive functioning skills to enhance student success. As a 6-12 school, our middle school faculty collaborates closely with high schoolteachers to ensure a smooth and successful transition. This partnership allows us to prepare students both academically and personally for the challenges and opportunities ahead in high school. Middle School Course Plan: 3 years humanities: language arts, social studies 3 years mathematics 3 years science Up to 3 years physical education/health Up to 3 years world languages LEARNING TO LOVE LEARNING Middle school teachers serve as trusted guides, helping students develop a deep understanding of the material rather than merely memorizing facts. This approach results in students acquiring invaluable skills in critical inquiry and a lifelong love of learning. High academic expectations combined with appropriate support allow students to be challenged and prepared for the next grade level. Students are encouraged to ask questions like: How do we know what we know? What’s the evidence and how reliable is it? How do viewpoints and implied values influence what we see, read or hear? How are things, ideas, events or people connected? Why does this matter? What does it all mean? STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND CLUBS Extracurricular activities foster intellectual curiosity, uncover interests and talents and encourage growth in our students as they prepare for high school and beyond.
