High School: 7th to 12th Grade

Still Waters Upper Grades school incorporates students from 5th-12th grade. The Upper Grades program operates a hybrid learning model that empowers students to actively participate in their own education. A master teacher video lecture series is leveraged for core subjects at respective grade level. While classroom activity keeps a standard pace, students are afforded the freedom to complete curriculum at their own rate. This provides the critical flexibility for students to complete easily comprehended material quickly while allowing more time for other concepts that require more time and rigorous thought.

Student-Parent-Teacher Communication is a cornerstone of the Upper Grades experience. 9th-12th grade students participate in Parent-Teacher conferences, giving voice to their goals and support needed from teachers and families. Parents are updated regularly by teachers on all academic, spiritual, social, and emotional topics covered in class. Still Waters Upper Grades understands the importance of parent involvement in a child’s education and actively seeks to inform and engage when it comes to the child’s education
