The Middle School day features an array of enrichment classes known as "electives". A student may choose up to six electives each year. Electives such as band, orchestra, drama, show choir, drawing, and journalism are extensions of "core" classes and appeal to those who wish to develop further proficiency. Other electives such as sewing, photography, academic games, outdoor education, and gardening, contribute to a well-rounded educational experience.
