What to Expect as a Sixth Grader:
All accepted 6th grade Math and Science students are placed in either Math 6 Extended or Math 7 Extended.
- Math 6 extended (Accelerated Pathway - Algebra sequence) is a compacted curriculum in which all of the sixth grade math objectives and 1/2 of the seventh grade objectives will be taught in one year. Students in this course will take the Math 6 SOL test in the spring. Upon successful completion, they will be enrolled into Math 7 extended in 7th grade and Algebra I in 8th grade. (Algebra I is a high school credit course!)
- Math 7 extended (Promoted Pathway - Geometry sequence) is a compact course which moves very quickly. Students in this class will complete sixth, seventh, and eighth grade math in one year and take the Math 8 SOL test in the spring. Upon successful completion, the student will take Algebra I in 7th grade, and Geometry in 8th grade. (Both Algebra I and Geometry are high school credit courses!)
All Math and Science program students will be enrolled in Science Enrichment. This course is specifically created for our Math and Science program students to enhance the current Science curriculum.
Program Requirements:
Upon acceptance into the program, each student will sign a contract that will be maintained for three years.
