ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES
Today’s elementary classrooms include
opportunities for students to connect globally with
other classrooms, children’s authors, and subject
matter experts through technology such as Skype
or Google Hangout. Our campuses also allow
students to explore interests outside the normal
curriculum through Genius Hours and clubs such
as robotics, Minecraft, coding, and more! Our goal
is to inspire your child’s love of learning in a safe,
nurturing environment.
MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUSES
Shirley Hall Middle School and Joe Tison
Middle School are home to students in grades
6-8. Our staff and student body work together
to build a positive culture of respect and high
expectations. Core values such as kindness, respect,
honesty, determination and responsibility–provide
guidelines for success in all that we do. Our goal is
to help students achieve academically, socially and
emotionally as they mature into young adults.
Middle school students also enjoy and excel in
many extracurricular activities in fine arts, athletic
and academic competitions. These
programs provide the foundation
for learning the skills and
leadership needed for high school
participation and achievement.
As we look to the future, we
are implementing innovative
instructional practices to help
prepare our students for a world
not yet imagined. Our use of
collaborative spaces is one example
of our commitment to teach the
21st Century skills that students
will need to excel in a global
community.
