Twice-Yearly Elective Curriculum

“Eagle Days” are offered twice each year. For one full week (in the fall and the spring), students choose two electives that allow them to work in multi-grade environments on passion projects!

The daily schedule runs as usual, yet there’s a morning and afternoon session  allowing the students to use two class periods for personalized experiences that challenge their creativity, imagination, and skill sets.

Classes offered cover a range of subjects, with titles such as:

Books & Cooks, Circuits and Soldering, Comic Book Making, Curtain Up Players, Fitness for Life, Board Games Around the World, Imagination Ink, Oak News, Wilderness Survival, Woodworking, and more.

The faculty advisors design classes that allow them to share special interests and skills to allow students to connect to academic material in non-traditional ways.  Teachers also get to build deeper connections with students outside the grade-level they normally teach.
