The students in 3rd and 4th grades get prepared for middle school by having one teacher for ELA/Social Studies and one teacher for STEM. This instructional model teaches students how to refocus by requiring students to change classes. In addition, each class is longer thus allowing the teachers more flexibility with the breakdown of content and instruction. The 3rd and 4th grades remain separated for homeroom, special classes, and faith studies. Students in all grades also have guidance lessons.
