Full-Year Program
Comprehensive Science 1

M/J Comprehensive Science 1 is the first in a series of three consecutive science classes. It introduces middle school students to the disciplines of life science, physical science, and earth-space science. In addition, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts are integrated throughout the course. The lessons make real-world connections and require students to apply STEM skills like analysis, problem solving, science knowledge, and engineering practices. Hands-on and virtual laboratory investigations are included throughout the course to provide students opportunities for exploration through scientific inquiry, research, measurement, problem solving, and experimental procedures. By the end of the course, students will be practicing, experimenting, thinking, and talking like a scientist!

English Language Arts 1

Through a merging of the past and the present, students in the M/J Language Arts 1 course study classical and contemporary texts and examine the lasting influence of each. Students acquire a foundational understanding of the reading, writing, language, and speaking/listening skills necessary for success in college, career, and beyond.  Students become critical readers and thinkers as they delve into rigorous and engaging literary and informational texts by examining rhetoric and purpose through close readings, interactive practice, and formal assessments.  They also learn to write effective narrative, informational, and argumentative pieces through the repeated practice of planning, drafting, revising, and editing their written work.

6th Grade Mathematics

How do mathematicians think, write, and speak? Find out in Grade 6 Mathematics, where students will experience new ways of solving problems through interactive and engaging activities. With a focus on hands-on learning and real-world application, students will be exposed to foundational concepts needed for higher-level math study, including integer operations, equations, and statistics. Instructional time for Grade 6 Mathematics will emphasize five areas:

  • performing all four operations with integers, positive decimals and positive fractions with procedural fluency
  • exploring and applying concepts of ratios, rates and percent to solve problems
  • creating, interpreting and using expressions and equations
  • extending geometric reasoning to plotting points on the coordinate plane, area and volume of geometric figures
  • extending understanding of statistical thinking
World History

Somebody discovered the wheel. Somebody discovered written communication. Somebody even figured out how to count to ten. From the ancient river civilizations to China and its ancient dynasties, different civilizations left their mark on history. They also left their mark on how we live today. In this course, students join travel agent Mr. Lightfoot to travel back in time, digging out the past of these ancient civilizations.

In ancient Egypt, students visit the pyramids and find out the secrets of preserving mummies. They see how the Mayans developed astronomy to a precise science. They even investigate the difference between the Athenians and the Spartans. Students journey through India, discovering India’s contributions to medicine, then move on to Africa to follow the rise and fall of the ancient east African kingdoms of Kush and Axum. Throughout the centuries, and still today, our world is made up of dozens of different cultures. They all are different, and they all have made big contributions to what we know and who we are.

Visual Arts 1

Ever wonder about how you can create art? In MJ Visual Art I, you’ll connect with art created by other artists as you learn how to plan, create, and reflect on your own art. You’ll discover tools and techniques artists use as you create your own drawings, sculptures, paintings, photographs, and mixed-media works. You’ll need to purchase supplies for this class. But don’t worry, you have choices in what you can use!
