Carver Academic Structure

Carver Middle School Curriculum The middle school structure encompasses sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. At each grade level, students are enrolled in four courses in the core curriculum areas: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students are expected to achieve satisfactory thinking skills, inquiry, creativity, and independent practice. Class Schedule On Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays classes  meet for forty-five minutes. On Wednesdays and Thursdays classes meet for ninety minutes. Core 2,  Core 4, and Core 7 classes meet on Wednesdays, and Core 1, Core 3, and Core 6 classes  meet on Thursdays.  The goal for extending time is to enhance learning. Additional time  allows for a variety of instructional techniques and active learning activities that require higher order thinking skills, inquiry, creativity, and independent practice.

There are five Areas of Interaction (AOI):  approaches to learning, community and service, homo faber, environment, and health and social education.  The Areas of interaction are integrated into every subject.  There is also a block of time each day reserved to focus on AOI, specifically the physical, social and emotional health and intelligence of adolescents. This time promotes self-esteem; self, group, and community awareness; an awareness of how students learn and the multiple intelligences; and decision making, goal setting,  and interpersonal skills.
