MIDDLE SCHOOL (Grades 5-8)

20220906_104730-min

Link Community Charter School's Middle School students for admission to and success in a competitive high school, as we support the journey every Link scholar to attend and graduate from college.  Each grade level brings increased rigor and expectations. Along with a rigorous college-bound program, Link provides an outstanding High School Placement program to ensure that students have all of the information and resources to move on to competitive high schools, particularly independent day and boarding schools and public magnet schools. All grade levels work within a strong community, grounded in the Core Values.

GRADE 5
Grades 5 begin to experience elements of middle school, with movement to content area teachers. This movement allows scholars to begin the transition to a completely departmentalized approach in grades 7 and 8. Teachers build close relationships with their scholars providing for the growth of the whole child. Since many students enter Link in 5th grade, the school provides the supports necessary to bridge gaps to bring each student to grade level. The course of study for grade 5 is as follows (click on the subject for scope & sequence):

GRADE 7
As students enter grade 7, they find themselves fully immersed in a middle school environment, changing classes regularly to meet with teachers who have specialized in a content area they are passionate about. Lockers in the hallway signal that the environment will be a little different from the lower house they experienced for the preceding two years. Students will experience more rigor and increased responsibility as teachers support more independence.The course of study for grade 7 is as follows (click on the subject for scope & sequence):
