Navigator students (our 6th,7th, and 8th-grade students) are taught skills based on Georgia Performance standards. We strive to place students in classes that best meet their academic needs regarding pacing and accommodations. Our smaller class sizes allow for greater student-teacher interaction to foster success in the classroom.
Our math classes utilize Envision Math 2.0 from Pearson in both print and digital formats. Middle school science classes are learning their standards using Pearson Education’s Interactive Science in both print and digital formats. Geography standards are explored using McGraw Hill’s Discovering World Geography curriculum.
Our Literature classes embrace contemporary and classic texts through multiple novel studies each year. Written expression and vocabulary skills are developed through direct instruction using a variety of curriculums. Instruction is enriched and individualized using numerous supplemental materials; including, IXL, BrainPop, Flocabulary, and NewsLea.
Social-emotional growth is encouraged throughout the day within the classroom and with our counseling department. We encourage students to learn to work collaboratively with peers within the classroom and with a variety of team sports. Navigators tackle new experiences with our age-appropriate field trips. We start the year with a white water rafting day trip and end the year with an overnight trip (3 days/2 nights).
