Electives
Electives
EDGE students may take up to 9 different electives during their middle school years, giving them the ability to have a wide variety of experiences in different fields. Our goal is to give students many options so they are better able to make wise choices regarding high school pathways. Each elective is offered for one semester except for Band and Orchestra which are year-long electives. Elective offerings may include:
Exploratory Spanish Math Development Drama Global Studies Introduction to Computers Creative Writing Debate Ethnic Studies Pre-Engineering Explorations Yearbook Forensics Psychology Building Healthy Relationships Social Responsibility Marine Biology PE Extension Environmental Awareness Orchestra Band Leadership (cross age-tutors and mentors)
College and Career Readiness (for students needing extra support in language arts)
Math Development (for students needing extra support in math)
We are always looking to expland the elective opportunities for our students. In the future we plan to offer Computer Coding and PLTW (STEM) classes.
Clubs
To further supplement student engagement, build community, and give students an opportunity to explore their talents and interests, the EDGE program includes time for students to participate in one club per year. Clubs are determined each year by student interest. Current clubs include:
Drawing Building with Legos Anime and Animation Student Council
DIY/Crafts Science Experiments Foreign Language Photography
