  • 中学

中学是一场冒险. Our faculty embrace this, 和 they're dedicated to 教育和理解 学生的思想和心灵.

建立联系

Our 中学 curriculum connects all subjects for a more meaningful learning experience. Students are encouraged to make their own connections between subject areas, aiding their natural learning process 和 helping them discovered God's world 和 their place in it.

We emphasize experiential learning throughout 中学 to deepen connections. Students take learning outside the classroom through field trips around Chattanooga, 多莱坞的国际电影节, 以及去华盛顿的传统之旅, D.C. 当他们想象历史背景时, students are stimulated to analyze the story empathetically, 综合信息, 拓宽他们的理解.

  • 评估

    Effective assessment is both formative 和 summative. Just as assessment of appropriately measurable goals can provide insight into areas of strength 和 areas where improvement is needed for the whole instructional program, so classroom assessment can equip teachers to adjust rigor 和 instructional depth to meet individual student needs. Summative assessment allows a student to demonstrate mastery 和 underst和ing as a culmination of a unit or year of study, 包括总体概念, 至关重要的问题, 以及持久的理解. Formative assessment equips both teacher 和 student to evaluate the progress that is being made 和 to adjust teaching 和 learning in order to accomplish the goals that the summative assessment will measure.
