Jr. High
Jr. High students start their morning in their homeroom classrooms. They follow the Jr. High schedule and change classrooms each period. We have five Jr. High teachers. Our curriculum includes English, Math, Spanish, Social Studies, Science, and Religion. We have a maximum of 22 students per grade. We currently have one 6th grade class, one 7th grade class, and one 8th grade class.
English (ELA) & Literature
In junior high English, there is group instruction with note-taking and review, individual work, small group or paired work. Tests & quizzes are provided as well as assigned papers/projects and homework. Worldly Wise is an integral part of the curriculum. Students complete spelling and vocabulary assignments to expand their knowledge and for weekly tests. There is an emphasis on grammar and how it relates to writing. This allows students to improve their writing skills in sentence structure as well as longer writing assignments. In Literature, the focus is on getting a deeper understanding of the material. Skills that have been learned in previous years are applied to a variety of writing styles, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and plays.
