The Middle School Curriculum
The basic curriculum for all Middle School Students includes English language, science, mathematics, and social studies. In addition, classes in art, music (either instrumental or vocal), physical and health education, technology, theatre arts, electives and advisory are required of all students. Foreign language, Russian, French, or Spanish (Spanish offered in grades 7 and 8 only) is also a required course for all students not enrolled in the English-as-a-Second (ESL) program.
The traditional subjects of English and Social Studies are combined into one course, "Humanities," which forms one of the major building blocks of the Middle School student’s schedule. In this class broad areas of inquiry in the subjects of history, economics, sociology and geography often form the basis for continued study and improvement of the traditional areas of Language Arts: reading and literature, writing, and public speaking.
