Arts Infusion coordinates the teaching of expressive skills with the integration of the arts into the core curriculum. Middle School students gain confidence from arts immersion as they assess their work, plan the next step, take risks and reassess an essential life-skill.

Technology Lab experiences develop mastery of hardware and software skills while teaching critical analysis, organization and presentation of information.

Exploratories are classes of shorter duration that stimulate or build upon interest, talent, leadership skill and inquiry. Mini-courses may include arts, student publications, study skills, teen life, student government and community awareness.

Physical Education and after school team sports address issues of adolescent health, development of large motor skills and team building.
