This schedule is designed to increase time spent teaching and learning so that all students experience success in a rigorous curriculum and are prepared to attend top quality high schools and colleges. In this schedule, students spend 2 hours working on reading and language arts and almost an hour and a half in both math and science. This commitment and focus on building the knowledge and skills of each student enables all students to accelerate much faster in their learning.

All students participate in P.E. or Music each day and have an opportunity to participate in other extracurricular classes during Saturday School in the spring, such as basketball, creative writing, chess, soccer, martial arts, cooking, camping, trip planning, and cheerleading.

In 7th and 8th grades, when students have demonstrated academic success in their classes, they have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities in 7th and 8th grades such as soccer, choir, orchestra, basketball, student government, and many more.

A hypothetical day in the life of a 5th grade student is included here (PDF file) to help you get a better idea of what students do and what the school feels like each day.
