Eighth graders will undertake a formal study of Algebra I to prepare them for the rigors of upper school mathematics. The six and seventh grade are largely devoted to the study of pre-algebra and elementary algebra concepts: fractions, integers, square roots and exponents, decimals, and the Cartesian coordinate system, among others. Students will also continue their study of mathematics, building on the foundation set in the lower school curriculum. Additionally, students will apply all of their language arts skills to analyzing and criticizing great English language works. They will be graded on both style and content. As the curriculum progresses, students will be expected to write longer essays about a variety of topics incorporating a more varied lexicon and complex grammatical forms. Sentence parsing and diagramming are frequently employed to demonstrate the organization of grammatical constructs. The faculty maintains a largely prescription approach to the study of grammar and syntax and, to this end, grammar is approached in a rigorous, systematic way. The middle school curriculum continues the study of language arts: grammar, vocabulary acquisition, writing, and literature. In addition to language, students also receive instruction in arithmetic and mathematical reasoning throughout their entire course of study. In later years, students sharpen these skills and apply them to reading literature, both secular and sacred, and writing short essays. The earlier years are largely foundational: students are taught to think about language as a logical, hierarchical progression. The lower school curriculum includes formal instruction in grammar and composition, phonics and spelling, and reading comprehension.
