ACADEMICS PARK SPOTLIGHT: GRADES 7 & 8 ELECTIVE COURSES Students entering Grades 7 and 8 will be able to enroll not only in the music and language courses of their choosing, they will also be able to select one or more courses pertaining to their specific interests, including engineering, coding, history, literature, and more. This allows for more direct learning in their field(s) of interest. Students learn to organize their materials and supplies in different ways since they no longer have desks that are their personal spaces. In addition, beginning in Grade 7, students begin to 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, which includes an accelerated math program that combines algebra and geometry and concludes with capstone research projects and presentations.
