- Hybrid schedule, with the 8-period day on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and 90 minute blocks on Wednesday and Thursday
- All 6th and 7th grade students have room in their schedules for two electives per semester. For 6th graders, one choice must be a performing arts elective.
- 8th graders take the first year of a foreign language (choosing from Latin, Spanish, French or German)
