Instructional Schedule
The academic school day begins at 8:03 AM and ends at 2:43 PM.
The instructional schedule consists of six periods each day with an additional advisory class, providing students with a balanced mix of core and encore classes. Core classes, including English, mathematics, science and social studies, meet every day, ensuring a consistent focus on fundamental subjects. To add an element of exploration to our students’ educational journey, we have introduced encore classes that follow a rotating A / B schedule. This rotation not only allows for a diverse range of elective experiences, but also ensures that students receive a well-rounded education. With this schedule, we aim to promote a love for learning, encourage curiosity, and provide a supportive environment for the holistic development of our middle schoolers.
Sample student schedules are provided in the appendix.
