Sierra Junior High Overview
Grades sixth through eighth are major stepping stones for future success in high school. With that in mind, we offer junior high students a variety of challenging academic courses and enriching extracurricular activities.

Academics & Enrichment Programs
Mathematics courses are taught on a completely individualized basis. Students must complete a set "target" each week, and they are encouraged to move ahead to complete more than the standard amount of work assigned in a year.

We offer both physical and life sciences. Our junior high science curriculum prepares students for more advanced high school science.

Social studies, literature, language arts, and foreign language are taught in a traditional classroom lecture and group discussion format.

Emphasis is placed on complete comprehension of assignments with regard to both homework and in-class work. Using a mastery system, students work to achieve 100% understanding of materials.

Small class size enables teachers to give individualized attention to each student. Class sizes range from 10 to 20.


"My daughter is learning at an incredible rate, and I am very happy with how her teacher guides and directs her growth - challenging without pushing. She has always loved learning and that is being nurtured in her school environment"
