Junior High Course Sequence

Students will complete a two-year cycle of course that meet the requirements of the State of Michigan and serve as a strong foundation for high school. Because some students will enter the Junior High Program as seventh graders and some as eighth graders, the curriculum will incorporate Michigan State Standards throughout both years. Courses will be organized around themes that connect all content areas and effectively cover the content expectations for Michigan and reflect the skills needed for high school and college success. In the case of science and mathematics, students who successfully complete the two year cycle will have met the requirement for HS Earth Science and for HS Algebra.  Students who did not receive both years will still have had the necessary exposure to all content in all areas to be successful upon entering high school.

The Junior High Program will also include a Portfolio course to meet multiple aims: to create community among this cohort of students, to unify the studies under a thematic focus, to conduct career explorations and to practice communication and collaboration and to meet many technology and art expectations through the construction and presentation of the actual portfolio piece.
