Seventh graders begin the transition toward the more traditional approach to education they will experience in high school. Students are introduced to four core subject teachers and rotate classrooms. We offer leveled mathematic instruction to serve the academic needs of each student. In science, students spend four months on a comprehensive study of human body systems. The subjects of Language Arts and Social Studies integrate as students read literature from Asia, Africa, and Australia. Students are offered a choice of electives to further develop artistic skills in the areas of their interest.
