Open Classroom

For more information contact teachers below.

Our Upper classes are taught by grade level for academic subjects and grade-blended classes for homeroom, P.E., Visual & Performing Arts, and more. Teachers, parents, and students create an inclusive learning environment within their community of classrooms.

Subjects are taught using project-based learning to increase engagement and share knowledge, such as coding a robot to be a tour guide that teaches how cells function.

• Our Math program uses Middle School Math Curriculum, a research based program approved by the SLCSD. 

Science class consists of labs, research projects, and science literacy skill building activities. 

Humanities class combines Language Arts and Social Studies. During this class novels are read, essays written, and students are involved in experiences such as podcasting and curating living history museums. 

• P.E. is taught by certified teacher, Penny Davis four days a week. 

Electives (called Explore Classes) are parent led and happen weekly based on parent involvement. For example, this term parents and teachers are leading classes on coding, ceramics, sewing, magazines, painting, cooking, and more.

• Music is taught through ensemble experiences with Eric Spreng, certified music teacher and professional musician.
• Teachers also offer after school activities such as Theater and Archery. 

Upper Grade Parent Meetings are scheduled six times a year on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. See calendar for specific dates.
