8th Grade Helps Students Grow

Our 8th grade Becoming a Gentleman curriculum teaches students to embrace what it means to be a gentleman in an ever-changing world.

Education is life.

Whether learning is hands-on or traditional, students have to take the time to explore how the topics they study apply to their lives. Experiential learning allows students to discover answers by guiding each other through the learning process.
