middle school

Our Science curriculum is through Stanford Scale. In 6th, through project-based units using phenomena students will have opportunities to generate their own questions to motivate and build on their sense-making and problem solving skills. Projects allows students to apply what they've learned to delve deeper into the intersection of social justice, science, and the "greater good".

In 7th grade, students explore science and scientific skills through a medical lens.  Pathways to Medicine works with 7th grade teaching them skills such as diagnosing patients, suturing, administering an IV, and administering injections.

In 8th, more exploration into the Earth, plants, and animals, delving into the ways we, as humans, might contribute to environmental problems and how these problems might affect certain populations more than others.
