In grades 6-8, our students build upon their academic skills, develop critical life skills, create projects using the latest information technology and pursue interdisciplinary topics.  Our schools offer a unique opportunity to develop leadership, interpersonal, and study skills through our Learning Without Walls initiative.

Learning Without Walls is a Nobel Learning Communities educational initiative that enables students to collaborate with peers in our sister schools across the U.S. With the support of the Nobel Learning education department, our teachers create shared learning experiences to support the curriculum, which can include virtual field trips and the utilization of blogging technology. Teachers guide their students through these interactive projects across schools using conference calls, email, or where possible, actual face-to-face presentations.

We emphasize life skills such as Leadership, Communications, and Study Skills throughout our curriculum to help students become well-rounded, confident and prepared for the next step in their educational journey.

We study Global Understanding, Systems Identification, Environmental Awareness, and Concepts and Characteristics of Leadership that help our students understand the interrelatedness of our 21st century world.

Learning Without Walls - working together across state lines

We believe that students learn by doing. Using technology, we create memorable partnerships among classes hundreds, even thousands, of miles apart. Students share research, resources, observations, ideas, and challenges on an ongoing basis. This interaction creates a rich learning environment, preparing them for tomorrow’s education and business worlds.
