Middle School Course Requirements

Courses in the Middle School are designed to prepare students for academic achievement by developing content proficiency. Students are taught skills and strategies to maximize critical thinking and understanding. The courses are rigorous and specific to the subject area while taking into consideration the academic and emotional development of the whole student.

Honors courses parallel the curriculum offered in the corresponding standard course, and may cover additional topics or some topics in greater depth. Honors courses are standard courses that require a higher level of critical thinking. To achieve success in these demanding courses, students must demonstrate a greater aptitude in the subject area, as well as exceptional motivation, work habits, and study skills. Honors courses offer additional assignments, beyond the regular assignments, that are more difficult in nature to challenge exceptional students. Honors courses are offered in Science, English, History, and Judaic Studies.
