Students are taught to use higher level thinking skills to demonstrate mastery of basic concepts learned. Students who qualify under state guidelines for the Exceptional Children's Program receive additional instruction from teachers specially trained in that field. Students also benefit from other individual and small group experiences such as resource, literacy, and Reading Recovery. A school-wide discipline system promotes uninterrupted instructional time and exceptional student behavior. These programs follow the North Carolina Standard Course of Study but with more emphasis upon composition and literature in language arts, and a faster pace in math.
Students return to regular classes for the remainder of the day.
All schools have school nurses, counselors, psychologists, and social workers to assist students. From I-40 West from Raleigh, exit right onto S. Miami Blvd. Proceed on S.
