Students are required to solve a variety of real life math problems and then to explain and justify their reasoning, thinking process and solutions. Our Social Studies program provides students with a new global awareness. The curriculum is integrated and project based, with an emphasis on research and current events. We employ many hands-on, interactive strategies to make learning relevant as well as fun. Orange Cluster Science provides opportunities for students to become actively engaged in scientific endeavors.
Students also apply the scientific process to solve problems.
Our interdisciplinary units are curriculum-based and enrich and enhance the traditional seventh grade program. We strive to make sure that every seventh grader who leaves us is well prepared for the eighth grade and high school. In addition to a strenuous academic schedule, we also provide our seventh graders with an environment where they feel part of a vibrant and energetic team. We offer our students a support structure in which to grow both academically and personally. This Orange Cluster Page was created on February 8, 1997.
