SPRING SEMESTER
MAY WORKSHOPS
-
These are middle school classes with significant academic rigor.
Our language arts work is often at a 9th grade level, so we occasionally have 9th graders take them. But I don’t design my curriculum specifically to suit charter school work sample requirements. In 2025-26, 9th graders will be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
Likewise, precocious 5th graders who are exceptionally mature and advance academically are also allowed on a case-by-case basis.
Priority enrollment in March and April 2025 is for students signing up for both a math class and another class. Learn more about Farm School on Mt. Helix by visiting our About page.
