Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen

   

Middle School Studies

Our exceptional middle school staff endeavor to provide our students with opportunities to expand perspectives, exercise talents and develop purposeful goal development and problem-solving skills. All middle school students study art, music, technology and Spanish, in addition to their core academic subjects and quarterly electives. Throughout the school day, students transition from class to class with a combination of a traditional and a block schedule.

Every school year begins with a 3-day team building retreat where all three middle school grades come together to achieve common ground. In the spring, each grade takes its own week-long trip to places like Moab, Utah and Sea Camp in San Diego, California. PTO sponsored fundraisers help to pay for these trips.  More information can be found below.

Electives

Middle school students have an opportunity to select from a variety of student driven elective choices.  Each quarter, students pick from a daily list of electives, giving them a different elective each day of the week.  Options change quarterly and encompass learning life skills, academic enrichment, physical activities, fun games, art, music and so much more. Middle School elective descriptions and the registration forms will be sent out at the beginning of each quarter. 

We offer over 20 unique electives weekly to our middle school students. Some examples of these electives are:
