Our curriculum, in accordance with Montessori principles, is spiral. Subjects and topics appear in subsequent years, with more depth and abstract thought each time. Therefore, something studied at a basic level in childhood may reappear at an advanced level in Middle School. This allows the students to become more intensely familiar with the knowledge and make it truly their own.

Check out some photos from our week-- working on launchers in STEM, filming depositions for our Christopher Columbus trial, and storyboarding for MTV class!

This week was a busy and exciting one in Middle School! Everyone returned after a long weekend, with half of our students coming back from China, so we eased back into the week on Tuesday with a community breakfast. 8th levels took the PSAT on Wednesday and then visited Calhoun high school on Thursday, so 6/7th levels spent some time working on projects and also learning about what it means to be a leader. Below is a short video we watched on Leadership-- not being in charge... but taking care of those in your charge.
// Silent Dance Party //
Hello parents and students. This is a video of our silent dance party! In a silent dance party everyone wears headphones with channels. Each channel has different music, if you take off all the headphones it looks like people dancing with no music. The party was so much fun and interesting to see our students dance moves.
