Middle School

Middle School (7^th & 8^th Grade)

In preparation for high school, the middle school curriculum incorporates a wide range of subjects and thorough research projects and writing programs. The following is a sampling of subjects included:

• Reading The adventure into classical reading materials begins, with whole book reading assignments and detailed book reports interspersed throughout the school year. Sample titles the student has to choose from include: Wuthering Heights, The Call of The Wild, The Adventures of Don Quixote, Black Beauty, The Chronicles of Narnia, Arabian Nights, etc.
• Vocabulary Utilizing the dictionary skills learned in earlier grades, the Middle School student is given direct, hands-on contact with words along with writing assignments that encourage their usage.
• Geography Ready-to-use lessons and activity sheets help the student master the skills necessary to read and interpret geographic information from maps, charts, diagrams, tables, graphs, pictures and narratives.
• Science This program is specially designed to serve the needs of a student who needs to learn or review the basic facts and ideas that are normally covered in an ordinary general science book. Units include topics on the solar system, composition and forms of matter, anatomy, and various forms of energy - heat, light, electricity, etc. - and how they are used.
• Earth Science Presents science as a process that involves research, experimentation and the development of theories which can hold great explanatory and predictive power. Study skills include: exploring the universe, composition of the earth, structure of the earth, history of the earth, etc.
• Mathematics Covers basic math and pre-algebra in self-motivating formats which assist the student in reinforcing classroom math skills at their own pace. The in-depth study thoroughly prepares a student for high school math. Skills include: whole numbers, percent with applications, word problems, charts and tables, algebraic expressions and equations, linear equations, and evaluating and writing mathematical expressions.
