Students are provided an accelerated course of study, working with standards from a grade level ahead in ELA and mathematics.

  • In 2019-20, 8th graders are working alongside 7th, with attention to opportunities to provide instruction in the building blocks of more advanced mathematics as they work to master 8th grade content. 
  • In 2020-21, 8th graders will be provided Algebra, Biology and Integrated Science, US History, Spanish/French I, and ELA genre studies.​​​

Mathematics:
​
Students engage in extended small group modeling, discussion and practice with mathematical content and explore real-world mathematical scenarios to apply their learning. They also spend time each week refining skills from earlier grade levels and working on building fluency with mathematical processes.
