Math

In math students will incorporate the arts as they focus on learning important foundational skills for Algebra. Students will work with scale drawings to study real world, proportional relationships and color mixing while exploring ratios. They hone presentation skills, as they explain their understanding to the class and share ideas.

In science, students utilize design to make our engineering projects the most efficient and creative. Students draw on historical architecture or biomimicry to spark ideas or revise projects. Students may present their findings in reports, posters, or video newscasts.

History focuses on ancient civilizations, where students learn about Early Man to the fall of the Roman Empire. Students look through the eyes of a historian, geographer, and archeologist to discover the importance of history.
