With the option to earn college credit through The Ohio State University, students are prepared for a bright future beyond the classroom.
Powered by AMP/edu
Our school is powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem — a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student’s learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.
Core Subjects & Electives
In addition to a foundational core curriculum (English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies), we provide diverse opportunities for students to explore Fine Arts, Career Exploration, and more. Our robust selection of electives is designed to foster personal growth and exploration. These courses provide students with the opportunity to expand their skills and interests in areas such as the arts, technology, and career development.
Art
Students explore various forms of visual art, including drawing, painting, and sculpture. This course helps students develop their creative abilities and encourages self-expression while learning art history and techniques.
Physical Education
PE classes focus on building physical fitness, coordination, and teamwork. Students participate in a variety of activities that promote health and well-being, supporting their overall growth and development.
Technology
We introduce students to key concepts in digital literacy and hands-on experiences in our Tech Lab. Students learn about coding, 3-D printing, and other tech-based projects that build problem-solving and innovation skills.
Career-Based Skills
We support students in grades 7 and up as they explore different career paths and develop practical skills. Through activities and real-world applications, students gain insight into various professions and prepare for future career opportunities.
College Credit
Middle school students have the unique opportunity to earn college credit through courses offered in partnership with The Ohio State University. This program allows students to get a head start on their higher education journey while still in middle school.
Instructional Model
Our school is built on a strong foundation of high expectations for academic achievement for all students. Our instructional
model has four key components to achieve strong academic results:
Individualized Instruction
Students participate in a variety of learning activities each day that individualize instruction for each subject area. Students receive whole class instruction, small group instruction, and individual instruction with teachers, technology and other curricular tools.
More Time on Task
Our students receive double the instruction in ELA and Math to provide a strong foundation for all learning. Beginning with full-day Kindergarten, our school also follows a longer school day and school year than many other schools.
Short Cycle Assessments
Student knowledge of academic standards is assessed formally and informally in short cycles by each teacher. Our teachers adjust class-level and individual instruction based on student performance in these frequent intervals.
