Middle School Academic Program

Classical Charter Schools of Leland’s Middle School continues to utilize elements of Direct Instruction that were imbedded in the Elementary School.  The focus on core subjects allows our adolescents to more deeply explore an advanced curriculum while developing the knowledge and skills necessary for pursuing life-long learning, and contributing to both their generation and generations of the future.

Developed as the natural progression from the elementary program, our middle school continues the foundation laid, utilizing educationally sound ideas, such as:

• Research based instructional practices
• Individualized, differentiated instruction
• Homogeneous grouping for math
• Smaller class sizes
• Curriculum that is relevant, rewarding, and challenging
