Language Arts

Junior High English Language Arts education is a critical phase in a student’s academic journey, as it plays a pivotal role in shaping their language skills, cognitive development, and critical thinking abilities.

At grades 7th and 8th instruction is focused on strong skills, and standards-based instruction that will provide the foundation for success in high school and beyond while still affording teachers the flexibility to customize the curriculum to the specific needs of their students and teaching style.

Students interact with high-quality classic and contemporary literature that’s rigorous, culturally relevant, and presented in a highly engaging format. 

Our curriculum includes:

  • Language Skills
