Our 6th Grade experience is designed to support students both academically and socially as they transition into middle school. Each day begins with breakfast and a check-in with peers and teachers before heading to Discovery, a unique class period that provides personalized academic or social-emotional support based on each student’s needs.
Students are placed into one of our three 6th Grade teams: the Eagles, Spartans, or Wolfpack. They rotate through four core classes: ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies, all taught in close proximity to provide a supportive, team-based environment. Instruction is hands-on, technology-integrated, and grounded in collaboration and real-world application.
After core classes, students head to lunch, often outdoors, and then finish the day with Electives. We invite families to view our Elective Offerings under "About Us".
Summer Bridge Program
The purpose of Summer Bridge is to help rising 6th Grade students transition smoothly into middle school by introducing them to their new learning environment before the return of 7th and 8th graders. This intentional time allows students and staff to build connections, ease anxieties, and set the tone for a successful school year. During Summer Bridge, students will participate in ELA and Math lessons, explore STEM activities, and enjoy engaging elective offerings.
All learning experiences are designed to be relevant, hands-on, and interactive, providing students with a strong academic and social foundation for middle school.
In addition to academic support, the program includes social-emotional learning, orientation to the school building, and an introduction to daily routines and expectations, ensuring that students feel confident, connected, and ready for the year ahead. Dates for Summer 2025 are being tentatively planned.
