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. Students use self-evaluation procedures and receive progress reports as appropriate. Since neither credit nor grades are given, student records document project completion. Spark is an exciting program of experiences and discovery for students aged K to 16.
