Interdisciplinary Architecture
The Freshman Team is about creating an experience for our students that breaks down the walls of each classroom. Curricula is no longer independent to the confines of each classroom. Using cross-curricular lesson planning, we make connections to all four core subject areas. The "Concept of the Month" idea takes students beyond their tests and labs and into the world of critical thinking. We ask each student to connect their lessons to everyday life experiences such as "Predictability" and "Cause and Effect". The Freshman year of high school can a confusing time for many students. It is a time when they struggle to find where they fit in the social climate. Our overarching "Search for Identity" helps students personalize content knowledge in an effort to help them categorize what is most important to them.
