Philosophy

The eighth grade team proudly grounds itself in the following principles: 
-Growth mindset
-Commitment 
-Perseverance
-Tolerance 
-Respect 
-Collaboration 

These principles guide us to our ultimate end goal:100% graduation rate. 

Instructional Approach

Instruction in eighth grade remains both rigorous and student centered. By providing choice, inquiry based learning and small group instruction students are prepared for the next chapter of their lives: high school.

Curriculum Details

 General Schedule

Learning begins right at 8:15 every morning with your homeroom while you enjoy breakfast. From there, students rotate through four core subjects, each for an hour. We break for recess and lunch at 10:20. Students will also visit one special per day with their homerooms- including art, library, froeign language and PE/Health. Students end the day with advisory groups based on academic goals.
