Seventh Grade (T7) Overview
As students progress through their junior high years, Threads 7 and Threads 8 courses help them explore the “Why?” and “How?” behind the facts they memorized in earlier grades. These programs emphasize connections across subjects, critical thinking, and independent application of knowledge.
Classes meet weekly for 15 weeks in the fall and 15 weeks in the spring. While enrolling in all subjects is ideal, Threads 7 and 8 are à la carte, giving families flexibility to choose the subjects that best meet their educational goals.
