Field trips are integrated into the curriculum. Opportunities for the students to explore various careers and professions are offered in many settings. Religion classes and homerooms are grouped by grade. Math classes are formed according to level. Multi-grade groupings are implemented in all other classes.
Students change classes for each of the six class periods daily.
The grade is based on the percent of the total points that the student earns. Grades are issued at the end of nine-week quarters, and midterm reports are issued halfway through the quarter. The progress of all middle school students is evaluated at the end of each year using the California Achievement Test, Fifth Edition. Homework is considered essential to students' education. It is expected that two hours would be set aside for homework each night, although some nights the assignments might require less time.
