WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Trauma-informed instruction and restorative practices are embedded
into our curriculum to help students better learn and cope with every day
life. Our goal is to teach and nurture with the entire student in mind.
These practices hold great priority, not only in developing our students,
but also in the training and development of our teachers.

2 TEACHER MODEL

Every middle school class will have two teachers of record. Teacher one
teaches ELA and History. Teacher two teaches Math and Science. Our
teacher ratio is 1:28 compared to 1:100. This creates a culture where the
teacher never feels alone and without support in the classroom and gives
students additional opportunity to achieve.

RIGOROUS CURRICULUM

We have organized our middle school schedule to include 150 daily
minutes of literacy instruction and 125 daily minutes of math instruction
broken into multiple class periods. This creates a classroom that is cross-
curricular and differentiated in the needs of the students and the
teacher.

HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION

High quality teachers deserve high quality coaching and development.
Teachers will receive weekly professional development and extended
summer training. The demands of a teacher, new or seasoned, are
always high but we believe we can get through them together. We strive
to create a culture where teachers feel supported, encouraged, and
empowered.
