ACADEMICS PARK SPOTLIGHT: GRADES 7 & 8 ELECTIVE COURSES Students entering Grades 7 and 8 are able to select two elective courses per year. These academic courses allow students to more deeply explore their specific interests. Courses offered have included Introduction to Coding, Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, Student Podcast Challenge, The Nature of Art, Creativity & Math, Rube Goldberg Machines, and Strange and Unsettling Tales, just to name a few. Grade 7 and 8 students participate in our school’s advisory program, which provides supportive academic and personal guidance through both individual and small group structures that address the distinctive ethical, social, and academic needs of our students. Preparing for the Upper School transition, we provide our Grade 8 students with more challenging coursework– including an accelerated math program that combines algebra and geometry in an integrated curriculum and a research seminar course that culminates in a capstone research project and presentation that allows students to utilize all of the skills they’ve acquired throughout their time in middle school.
