6th - 8th Grade
6th through 8th grade is a time of personal growth and discovery. Students have the skills to nurture their academic strengths and interests, exploring complex ideas in all subject areas. Building on previous knowledge and skills, children can apply higher-level thinking to reach beyond the classroom. They analyze and question the world around them, as they prepare for high-school, college and careers. Equipped with a solid moral and academic foundation, students are ready to succeed.
6th - 8th Grade Curriculum
English Language Arts
Students read and write across various genres, using critical thinking to analyze themes and draw conclusions. Teachers facilitate discussions and help students express ideas. In writing, students plan, create, and edit stories, essays, poems, and research papers, while developing their own voice and style. Teachers model the writing process to support their success.
Math
Middle school students engage with math through a problem-based curriculum, developing critical thinking as they solve real-world and mathematical problems. They will build strong foundations in algebra, data science, number sense, and geometry, applying strategies and connecting concepts, while recognizing themselves as mathematicians.
Science
Building on earlier knowledge, students dive deeper into more complex concepts in life, physical, earth, and space sciences. Students will apply these concepts to real-life situations, preparing for the rigor of high school science.
Social Studies
At this age, students expand their understanding of society and their role in it. They’re able to think more critically about who they want to become in the future. Through the study of civics, history, government, and economics, they analyze complex issues and deepen their grasp of American democracy and their responsibilities as citizens.
