Welcome to
Grade 8 CORE

Grade 7 CORE consists of the four foundational course sections: 
English Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics and Science

American History

English Language Arts 8 and Social Studies 8 are strategically combined to take advantage of the reading and writing standards included in both.  The full curriculum is provided by Mindspring in an organized, paced and easy to follow format. By combining ELA and SS activities, students have more time for exploring in depth our amazing historical topics through parent-guided project-based assessments.
