Pillars of Middle School Advisory - Your advisory class is like your homeroom.

The focus is on social and emotional learning under the guidance of a caring adult, usually your core teacher.

Teaming – You will be part of one of our four teams and will share classes with the same students and teachers.

Flexible Scheduling – Allows flexibility in the areas of grouping, scheduling and staffing to benefit students and the school

Integrated Curriculum – Promotes connection-making among fields of knowledge in order to help students understand the world around them.

Explorations - Provide students with the opportunity to learn with specialist teachers. All students take explorations courses and this helps them discover their interests and aptitudes.
