CR1 students are mainstreamed into related arts classes. Talented and Gifted Students have the opportunity to partake in a rigorous comprehensive academic program, which includes high school level mathematics and foreign language courses. Activities include but are not limited to Yearbook, Final Frontiers, Destination Imagination, SGA, Black Saga, Basketball, Track, Spirit Club and Step Team. Sat prep activities are offered on Saturday mornings through a cooperative program with Bowie High School. That rate can be attributed to the combined efforts of our SRIC facilitator, pupil personnel worker, guidance department, and staff in attempting to find alternatives to suspension.
Academy provides students with additional tutorial and behavior management interventions.
The principal authorized the formation of an instructional council to work collaboratively with the staff to implement the integration of math and writing across the curriculum. The instructional council met bimonthly to assess the effectiveness of the initiatives. Feedback from staff as well as student anchor papers were utilized to refine the math calendars and writing prompts. BTMS has partnered with Bowie University and community churches to tutor students during the academic day who may not otherwise be able to partake of after school tutoring. The Principal s 4.0 club recognizes students for their academic success.
