What We Provide For Your Child
The focus of this program is to help students transition into the independent learners they need to become in order to experience successful high school years. They will be given the ample opportunity to work on their presentation skills. As students follow a chronological timeline in history, they will be studying relevant geography and reading literature pertinent to that time period and location. Students analyze rich literature focusing on content, comprehension, the poetry of language and the structure of writing. In grammar, a strong emphasis is placed on the parts of speech, parts of the sentence, phrases and clauses. Students work through the Institutes for Excellence in Writing Program to add a repertoire of writing strategies to their writer's toolbox.
In Science we use the Apologia General Science textbook which helps prepare students for more difficult, high school laboratory sciences. The students will be required to execute a science project at the conclusion of this study. With approval by the Facilitator and Academic Director, eighth grade students may choose to take Physical Science instead of General Science.
