Courses, like Art Around the World, Woods and Water, or Genealogy, are created to prepare the students for the multidisciplinary approach used in the intermediate classes. Using Renzulli's Enrichment Triad Model, students are provided the opportunity to select their classes based upon their interests. It reinforces the basic skills of problem solving, goal setting, organization, and communication. Each course is completed in one day. Seventh and eighth grade students select their own courses.
Courses extend the sixth grade learning activities.
The eighth grade component emphasizes high school readiness. The high school component is called Probe Project. Students have the opportunity to pursue independent projects. Students may select this option during September each year. The project is supervised by a librarian or media specialist who facilitates student progress and assists in the development of resources, materials, information, and internal or external mentors.
