Middle School Curriculum

Electives

Spanish

Spanish is offered to seventh and eighth grade students, and will allow them to earn their high school Spanish 1 credit. Students must take Spanish both years and earn a B+ or higher in order to receive the credit. In addition, they must take Spanish II in ninth grade to complete their foreign language credit.

With Spanish textbooks as a starting point, the students will expand their vocabularies, increase their conversational skills, and understand the structure of the language through the study of its grammar. In addition, the students will be exposed to the culture and traditions of various Spanish speaking countries.

Visual Arts

The purpose of Visual Arts is to expose students to various artists, historical influences, art theory, and various media. The students’ grade is based primarily on participation, attendance, attitude and effort. The class often incorporates topics discussed in other subjects in order to allow students to see the connections between visual arts and other academic areas.

Music

Music in Middle School this year is an elective (Not required), and we are happy to be able to offer instruction in Guitar-1 & 2, Choir, Trumpet, French horn, Saxophone, and Percussion-2.  Performances are held throughout the school year
