CURRICULUM IN GRADES 5-8

Students in grades 5-8 departmentalize for various subjects. The teachers are certified in their particular subject area for middle school. In the math program the students take basic math or pre-algebra in 7th grade and pre-algebra or algebra in grade 8. This gives students an opportunity to test out of algebra in high school.
