In the general studies portion of their day, Middle School students take English, Math, Science, and History. Courses are designed to challenge the students to think critically, while encouraging them to explore who they are as Jews, Americans, and human beings.
Through hands-on activities, problem-based learning, and seminar-like discussions, students learn to ask good questions and find meaningful answers. National programs like History and Science Fair promote independent research skills and the confidence that comes from defending one’s findings to an audience. Subject matter often transcends the classroom with large-scale projects like debates or mock trials. High standardized test scores, awards in statewide competitions, and numerous other scholastic achievements bear out the success of our approach.
