Middle School Overview

Page’s departmentalized approach to learning is a conduit that continues our students’ educational journey in preparation of high school. Core curricula: such as reading, literature, writing, math, science, social studies, along with character development, physical education and sports, Spanish, fine arts, technology, study and organizational skills, as well as other electives provide a well-rounded program of study. Our curriculum is integrated with the latest technologies. Students are proficient in keyboarding, word documents, PowerPoint, web searches, and other multi-media technologies that promote critical upper-level thinking skills that provide for problem solving in both academic and real world situations.

Language Arts/Literature/Grammar/Writing
Students are encouraged to read vigorously, enthusiastically, and intensely both within and outside our literature-based curriculum. Varied genres such as fiction and non-fiction, novels and short stories, poetry, and dramas are explored. A strong foundation in oral and written communication is an essential element of the Language Arts Program. The correct usage of grammar, language, advanced vocabulary, spelling, and written skills provide for effective dissemination of ideas and thoughts.

Mathematics
The mathematics program guides students through general math, pre-algebra, introductory geometry, and Algebra I. It is essential that students demonstrate strong competencies in the knowledge of concepts, computation skills, fractions, decimals, ratios, percentages, problem solving, word problems, graphs and measures, and algebraic equations.

Science
Through the mastery of scientific inquiry, students acquire the abilities to question, gather evidence, design an investigation, formulate answers, and then communicate the process and results. The course of study includes Physical, Life, and Earth Sciences. These scientific explorations include, observing, classifying, measuring, comparing and contrasting, predicting, hypothesizing, inferring, identifying, manipulating variables, interpreting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions.

Social Studies & History
Students develop an understanding of historical chronology, perspectives, and geography as they relate to ancient civilizations through today’s modern era. A historical perspective of American History from the founding of the country and relating them to current topics and events, challenge the student to ask questions, investigate, and draw conclusions.
