STEM Program

Strong STEM understanding grows as your student channels their natural curiosity into discovery that builds confidence, real-world problem-solving skills, and a love of seeing how science shapes everyday life.

Note: For STEM students in 6th and 7th grade we offer a combined, rotating two-year curriculum in which students complete the A/B courses one year and the C/D courses the next.

Math Icon
Math Program

Many students struggle to feel confident with math, and our Math Program supports them in recognizing patterns, making sense of numbers in everyday life, and developing the mindset needed to approach new challenges with ease.

New for 2025-26, we’re transforming the way students learn math with Derivita, an interactive platform that provides instant, step-by-step feedback. Derivita gives students smarter practice and helps mentors identify strengths, struggles, and skill gaps in real time—so every student can get the support they need to grow.

In live math courses, students meet four times per week with a certified teacher—what we call a mentor—who leads them through simulations and modeling workshops that reveal the meaning and beauty behind the math. Mentors also guide hands-on problem-solving sessions that help students build fluency and confidence using Derivita. For students in 8th grade (Intro to HS Math), we also offer a self-paced option supported by mentor office hours.

Electives

Middle school students are at a key moment to explore what they enjoy and begin shaping future interests. Our electives program supports that growth through hands-on courses such as photography, life readiness, typing, and optional for-credit world language study for independent students. Each elective helps students build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and enter high school with greater confidence and direction.

Stories from Middle School Students

“Attending Leadership class is a transformational learning experience! Everyone gets a chance to lead something—from a breakout room to a full slideshow! Ms. Tucker makes sure we are all nice to each other too, which creates a welcoming environment!”
Nolan
6th Grade
“When I first started the 7th grade I was really nervous to start the new school year since I didn't know anybody or what this school year was going to be like, but Mrs. Burbank made the whole class feel like a safe space to share our ideas. It really helped because I have a hard time trying to share with other people sometimes. Throughout the year I grew more confident in participating in class and more confident in myself.”
Melinna
7th Grade
“I assumed my LA class would be boring, slow, and with lots of homework. It was all of those things except boring and slow. There is a lot of homework, but I learned that it is important, and will help me grow. The homework isn't boring, it is fun! Mrs G. taught me that I can do whatever I set my mind to, and that I matter and my education is important.”
