The Middle Years Program provides students the opportunity to progress along a continuum, acquiring an academic foundation of information and concepts in the core subject areas while incorporating technology, English, social science, mathematics and science. Projects targeting community resources, interdependence and diversity create an appreciation and understanding of the social and cultural community.
The development of intellectual inquiry encourages investigations led by student interests. Learning mathematics by reasoning and problem-solving reinforces basic skills. Students read to acquire knowledge, and they examine writing styles as they experience literature of various genres. Imagine a study of rivers and mountains that includes reading Tom Sawyer; writing a research paper about a world river; orienteering on a local watershed; experimenting with slope, velocity and volume; creating a model of the earth to scale; contributing to community awareness through a Roswell city drain painting project; providing data to research scientists; applying technology to analyze research data; examining problems and evaluating solutions to environmental issues; and demonstrating knowledge through multi-media presentations.
Our staff understands that adolescent children are ready to accept responsibility for their academic success and behavior. Students create lasting relationships and develop leadership and cooperative skills through activities, such as community service projects, class trips and theatrical performances. Students recognize and appreciate the unique gifts and talents of their classmates and themselves.
