Theme (6-8)

The traditional theme school is designed to offer students a comprehensive, interdisciplinary educational program in a highly structured setting. Students are active participants in a challenging program which includes home study projects and exposure to a world language. A cross-curricular instructional approach leads to more research centered assignments and hands-on projects requiring problem solving and critical thinking. Parent volunteer hours are a vital part of the program.

Students and families must adhere to the written continuation guidelines.
