中学哲学与课程

在十大老品牌网赌网址大全, we understand that the middle school years are a critical period in a student’s intellectual and social development. Our Middle School philosophy and programs is carefully designed to not only focus on language remediation, 还有学术优势和兴趣.

在他们的中学时期, 鼓励学生学习更抽象的内容, 批判性思维和解决问题的能力. 为了实现这个目标, we focus on the work production skills needed for higher levels of academia including the executive skills required to accomplish daily tasks and long term projects. 在中学阶段,我们提倡自我意识, 积极的自我形象, 尊重差异, 以及对更大的社区的欣赏.

而十大老品牌网赌网址大全有多年龄段的教室, we follow the core curriculum found in traditional middle schools — with topics ranging from math and science to 物理 education and the arts. 关于我们使用的程序和方法的信息可以在下面找到.

安排旅行

  • 数学

    中学数学课程为学生提供了广泛的, concept-driven curriculum that attempts to give students the mathematical knowledge and tools necessary for daily life and future education. 培养学生解决问题的能力, 用数学语言进行逻辑推理和交流. 课程中包括有关计算的主题, 数论, 估计, 测量, 几何, 图形和代数的基本概念. 因为计算器扩展了学生的计算能力, 专注于概念开发和解决问题的过程是稳定的. TINS方法继续被用来有效地排序和解决单词问题.

    • Dimensions Math®来自新加坡数学 是一种高效、多感官、结构化的数学教学方法吗. 这种方法侧重于通过有意的技能排序和具体的概念掌握, 图示, abstract approach that introduces concepts in a tangible way and becomes progressively more abstract. 学生的元认知能力得到加强,因为他们被教导“思考他们的思考”,,当他们学会如何有效地分享这种想法时,他们的沟通技巧就会提高. Students use prior knowledge to anchor new learning and to make connections between various mathematical concepts. Dimensions Math®教授技巧和技能,以培养学生的数字感, 心算能力, 以及思考数字的灵活性. 解决问题的能力也被高度强调, and students learn how to transform word problems into visual representations in order to successfully solve them. 最终目标是帮助学生取得成功, 自信, 足智多谋的数学思想家.
    • 让数学成为现实™是一个多感官,动手和结构化的程序,专为所有学习风格的学生. 这种方法整合了在数学上取得成功所必需的关键认知发展. 数学必备的大脑工具, 比如符号成像, 细节分析和顺序处理, are developed through fun and engaging lessons that guide students from kindergarten through algebra.
    • TINS(思想,信息,数字句子,解决方案)方法 是为了帮助学生分解文字问题并准确地解决它们而设计的. 学生被教导识别关键字和不必要的词, visualize the problem and understand the “language of math” so they are able to choose the appropriate operations when solving a problem.
  • 社会研究

    在中学历史和社会研究课程中, 学生们扩展了他们的地理知识, 历史, 经济学, 公民, 世界文化, 时事新闻. 学习包括记笔记和提纲在内的理解技巧. 动手项目和模拟让学生在课堂上“体验”历史. 除了, 中学的每个学生都有“儿童时间”, 课堂时间也会定期用于时事.

  • 科学

    Middle School students continue to engage in multi-sensory activities to extend their knowledge in the life, 物理, 以及地球科学以及发展使用实验室设备的技能. 学生通过完成几个实验室实验参与体验式学习, 包括解剖活动, 促进基于发现的学习. 学生们还利用周围的环境作为户外教室,并利用许多当地资源, 比如分水岭户外中心, 特伦顿州立博物馆和天文馆, 以及清洁海洋行动峰会,以研究许多生命科学和环境概念. 整合到科学课程中的计算机应用包括在互联网上的研究, 网页搜寻, 以及SMART Board™上的演示.

  • 希腊语和拉丁语词根

    Middle School students learn Greek and Latin word roots to help them increase vocabulary and reading comprehension. 每个星期, students are presented with strategic vocabulary instruction through Greek and Latin word parts from the book series, 古典词根词汇. 学生们被赋予了一个有用的, transferable technique for making sense of unfamiliar vocabulary across content areas and on standardized tests. 练习让学生思考单词的关系, 确定单词在上下文中的正确用法, 完整的类比, 在写作和讨论中使用词汇. The teacher provides the student with many multi-sensory activities that include the Greek and Latin word roots learned, 这样这些词就被内化了.

  • 表演艺术

    Music is an essential component of every child’s education and all Cambridge School students participate in musical learning through the Fine 艺术s Program. 十大老品牌网赌网址大全的音乐课程是以表演为基础的.

    戏剧在课堂上有许多有益的应用. 研究表明戏剧能提高创造力, 创意, 灵敏度, 流利, 灵活性, 情绪稳定, 合作, 以及道德态度的检验, 同时培养沟通技巧和文学鉴赏力. 戏剧通过提供视觉效果来适应不同学习风格的学生, 听觉, and kinesthetic methods of teaching 批判性思维 skills and engaging in aesthetic experiences with literature. 除了, 在课堂上对戏剧的研究发现戏剧可以提高阅读理解能力, 有说服力的写作技巧, 自尊, 以及对他人的积极态度. 戏剧也为安全的表达和想象力的运用提供了一个平台.

  • 艺术

    The goal of the art program at Cambridge School is to stimulate creative thinking and to encourage students to feel comfortable using art as an effective and meaningful form of communication. 不同学习方式的学生往往表现出很强的视觉艺术天赋. 因此, 我们努力通过创造性地解决问题和艺术实验来挑战学生, 激发他们一生的好奇心和创造的冲动. 通过在各种媒体中培养技能,学生培养对创造性表达的信心. The students work with tools appropriate to their abilities and skill level in order to develop manipulative skills needed to satisfy individual artistic expression. 介绍了设计元素:线条, 形状, color, 纹理, 空间, 和光线, 以及设计原则:模式, 节奏, 平衡, 对比, 强调, 和团结. The students create bridges between art and the world around them through a theme-based integrated curriculum. 例如, students design and create set backdrops and stage props that are used in their all-school musical production. 项目通常将艺术概念与语言、数学和社会研究联系起来. Projects are designed to offer structure for students to feel creatively safe yet provide enough freedom for self discovery. The students expand their horizons and are visually inspired by experiencing a variety of artwork from con节奏rary and past cultures. 也, 学生通过参观博物馆/画廊与艺术界建立联系, 实地考察旅行, 来访的艺术家, 以及一年一度的学生艺术展.

  • 数字的发现

    This leveled course provides direct instruction in both computer skills and the underlying science that drives technology. Students build their digital literacy as they engage in dynamic experiences that develop their knowledge of the workings of technology, 同时获得21世纪的关键技能,包括合作, 创造力, 批判性思维, 以及解决问题的能力. 该系列的组成部分包括:计算机编码, 数字设计, 建筑学和工程学的概念, 应用程序开发, 以及平面设计.

    In the winter semester all students have health classes integrated into their 物理 education program. 健康课程旨在解决与学生的社会环境有关的健康问题, 为他们提供必要的技能,以做出适当的选择.

  • 器乐-竖笛

    Instrumental Music introduces students to the two main elements of music: 节奏 and 球场 through instruction in the recorder. 由我们的器乐指导老师Mr. 雷纽金特. Mr. Nugent is a member of the Westminster Conservatory of Music and has a Masters of the 艺术 in Piano Pedagogy and Performance. 正确的手指位置, 口部(乐器相对于口腔的位置), 吹技术演示和加强通过直接指导, 建模, 和实践. 学生们用奥尔夫和柯达利的方法学习符号和不同的音符值. 通过各种练习、呼应、阅读和即兴创作来强化概念. 学生们每年在节日音乐会和年终典礼上表演两次.

  • 手铃合唱团-中学1 & II

    初中学生 & 我会参加每周45分钟的手铃唱诗班. 雷纽金特. Handbells involve a highly organized and complex system of counting and reading where each individual student is responsible for one or two notes within a whole piece. Students must count the entire piece and listen to the piece as a whole in order to know exactly when they need to play their individual bell or bells.  团队合作是这门课的核心. 为了得分,每个人都必须了解其他人的部分. 当各个元素结合在一起形成一个旋律和谐的作品时,是非常令人兴奋的. 这门课包括分数分析, (读音乐,谈论音乐), 曲目, 和性能.
