Language Arts - 6th Grade

Reading, writing, and discussions are guided by thematic questions and student choice. The curriculum over the three years of middle school includes diversity in gender, culture, race, and socio-economic perspectives.

Each year, students undertake an interdisciplinary research project that connects with their History curriculum, culminating in a written report, a visual display, and an oral presentation for the History Fair.
