Curriculum
Each Middle School grade has four homerooms, four core classes, including Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies. In its first four years of operation the school offered Encore classes that all students took (Music, Visual Arts, Physical Education and Paideia arts). Due to the small size of the school, the Encore classes change based on student and instructional needs. In the 2011-12 school year students were able to choose from a variety of arts and social sciences electives, including digital photography, fine arts, media and journalism, and humanities and debate. Spanish classes will be another elective offering. In Fall of 2014, students are offered Technology, Art, PE/Health, and Civics.
