STEAM:  Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math

The STEAM class period is a combination of Math and Science instruction. Technology, the engineering design process, and the arts are all part of an integrated curriculum.  Scholars are involved in hands-on projects that connect standards from both Math and Science.  They collaborate and work cooperatively with peers in class and in our state of the art Science Lab.

REACH: Reading English to Analyze Culture and History

The REACH class period is a combination of Reading, Language Arts, and Social Studies.  Teachers integrate these subjects as scholars read about historical people and events while working to master Reading and Language Arts standards.  Scholars are also involved in cooperative and individual projects combining standards from each content area.
