As students enter the sixth grade, they are offered more opportunities to explore content more deeply or more broadly according to interest and aptitude.
We provide opportunities within each subject area.
In our social studies History Day program, students pursue topics of interest through primary and secondary research, and after a five month process of study, present their work in one of six different mediums.
In science, students select research projects in early fall and follow a scientific research process that mirrors that of the professional scientist. Upon completion of our in-school science night, students enter advanced science competitions sponsored locally and statewide.
In mathematics, according to ability, interest, and agency students may select their pacing for middle school mathematics. They also have the option of participating in our after school and weekend math clubs which hones their problem solving skills prepares them for math competitions.
In writing, students may choose to prepare and submit their creative and expository essays to a variety of writing forums through which they gain real-world practice in the writing process and can have their work recognized by domain experts.
