Please note that this is a tentative
and incomplete list of
possibilities.
The 8th grade program is
scheduled to be available in time for the fall of the 2005 school year.
Unlike our elementary program, our middle-school program offers a lot of
parental support (guides, lesson plans, worksheets, writing projects, etc.) due
to the increasing difficulty of subject material in the dialectic stage.
