Academics
A Christ-centered middle school program for grades 6 through 8 that challenges students academically while forming them spiritually, socially, and emotionally.
The Seton Catholic Middle School Curriculum Guide gives students and families a clear picture of what students learn from sixth through eighth grade. It outlines the major content, skills, projects, and standards in each subject, and shows how learning builds from one grade to the next. The guide is a living document that will continue to grow as we develop and strengthen our middle school curriculum over the next several years.
Middle School at a Glance
The middle school program is built around four areas that together give students a well-rounded experience of academics, faith, creativity, and service.
Core Subjects
Five core subjects provide the foundation of the middle school academic program. Detailed course overviews are being developed one area at a time, and each will include standards, class expectations, homework, grading, and a scope and sequence.
Explore Courses
Explore courses give students the opportunity to try new things, develop different skills, and explore subjects beyond the traditional core curriculum. Each course is typically offered for one trimester.
Explore offerings may change from year to year and are reviewed and updated regularly.
Specials
Specials give students opportunities to develop skills and interests in areas beyond the core academic subjects, organized by grade level from sixth through eighth grade.
Middle School Service
Required service hours give students the opportunity to connect with our community and make it a better place, building a habit of looking for ways to help others.
Class Expectations & Grading
Every course overview spells out what is expected of students and how their learning is measured, using a grading scale shared across the school.
