CURRICULUM
Math
We use a Singapore Math curriculum. This curriculum emphasizes conceptual understanding (or the why) over rote memorization. Concepts are represented using manipulatives, then visuals, and finally as abstract symbols and equations. Our curriculum spirals to ensuring our students develop a deeper understanding of concepts.
Science
We use multiple programs and curriculums to create a comprehensive science education for our students. Our 5th/6th class science curriculum is focused on Earth and Space Science. Our 7th/8th class science curriculum rotates annually between Physical Sciences and Life Sciences. We use a heavy lab curriculum to ensure hands-on and real life learning. Additionally, we will be using Lego Education - Science that facilitates hands-on learning while allowing students to build critical thinking, creativity, problem solving and knowledge. We will also use supplemental science
Social Studies
We use McGraw Hill IMPACT. This curriculum opens students’ eyes to the rich fabric of our world by helping them discern cultural and historical patterns, understand stories and traditions, and connect their own experiences to those of others. Our 7th/8th class social studies curriculum rotates annually between United States, World History, Civics & Economics, and Geography & Global Issues.
Language Arts & Reading
Our Language Arts & Reading classes the HMH literacy curriculums. Our 5th/6th class use Into Reading and Into Literature, while our 7th/8th class uses Into Literature. This curriculum focuses on creating critical and confidence readers by incorporating culturally relevant texts that connect with students' lives. The rigorous texts build intellectual stamina and tenacity, while developing analytical readers, independent thinkers, and proficient writers.

Community Service
Students will spend every Friday afternoon completing a wide range of community service projects. Some projects will take place on site at the State Park and others will require field trips with chaperones. Wednesday afternoons, students will participate in our Mentor/Mentee program, where they will be paired with a younger child in the community and serve as a mentor and role model. Friday mornings, students will participate in our Reading Buddies program, where they will read to a younger child who they are paired with. Learn more about our Mentor/Mentee program and out Reading Buddies program on our Community Partnerships page on our website.
