Our Middle School Academic Enhancement Program is designed for a select group of students who meet specific academic criteria. This weekly 45-minute session offers an opportunity for students to collaborate in small groups on challenging, hands-on projects. The program encourages critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork, providing students with a unique academic experience that complements and enhances their regular curriculum. Through this engaging environment, students are empowered to push their academic boundaries and develop essential skills for future success.
What this program IS:
A weekly period devoted to:
Providing time and guidance for students to “dig deeper” in their knowledge about historical, scientific, creative, and analytical topics
Providing time and guidance for students to expand what they know and interact in new and exciting ways with areas of interest
Providing time and guidance for students to cooperate with their peers and to create, invent, explore, learn, question, and rejoice in the process of learning
What this program IS NOT:
An extension of the academic curriculum at LAMS
A time to do homework or a way to “get out of class”
