JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Junior High School Curriculum

  • Junior High School Students must complete two courses each in English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Religion. 
  • They must also complete a course in cursive writing and and a course in typing. Cursive writing and typing may be waived by demonstrating proficiency through testing. Students who waive either course may take an elective in its place.

Typical Day for 7th & 8th Graders:

A Typical Day for a Student During the Hybrid term September - December 2026
