The curriculum to be used over the course of the year will include the following major segments:

Structures, both natural and man-made, is the theme of an Interdisciplinary Unit designed to strengthen the students’ critical thinking, and communication skills though experimentation, research, discussion, and creative expression.

Symmetry includes a variety of activities to train students to observe and organize data and to use deductive reasoning in problem solving.

Guided Independent Study provides the students with a framework to apply and refine skills developed during the year as they undertake an in-depth study of their selected topic according to their interest.

The Junior Great Books Discussion Program is an opportunity for students to develop skills of interpretive reading and critical thinking. It is hoped that students will develop an increased appreciation for literature and learn to participate in in-depth discussion. Selections have been chosen for their literary merit and because they are excellent sources of multiple meaning.

Write A Book is another opportunity for students to display their creativity and talents. All TAG students are required to participate by writing a book. Details will follow.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact me at school. We are looking forward to a very productive, challenging, and successful year.
