7th Grade Service Academy
Our 7th Grade students will build on the principles that they learned about servant leadership, with a stronger focus on service to their community.
At our 7th Grade Service Academy, we go beyond conventional academic learning. Our primary goal is to nurture a spirit of altruism and create leaders who actively seek opportunities to make a positive impact in the world around them. Through a well-crafted curriculum, we emphasize both academic excellence and civic engagement, ensuring your child develops into a well-rounded individual. Service Academy students will participate in 6-8 character building field trips to go and visit local non-profits and service organizations
Sample Field Trip
Students visit James Storehouse in Newbury Park, CA and learn how James Storehouse provides practical support to families in the foster care system. Students then spend time the next day processing the lessons they've learned in their service journals and discussing lessons to be applied to their own lives in class.

Curriculum
Our gifted teachers consistently stretch our students to grow in their writing, critical thinking, reading, and oration skills. Comparative novel studies are utilized along with the best components of several leading curricula, including Shirley and Fountas and Pinnell. Cross curricular lessons are emphasized across the humanities, with a specific focus on character formation through highly interactive and challenging academics. Treasured traditions like the school-wide spelling bee and speech meet help to ensure that our Academy students set an example of academic excellence for our younger students and provide leadership and mentoring opportunities for students in our upper grades.
