Classen School of Advanced Studies Middle School
5th Grade
5th Grade
Fifth grade students will participate in Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies and will follow the traditional AB schedule. They will also be required to take a Math Strategies class and Creative Writing class. Students will participate in a yearlong course of Physical Education, as required by state law. Each 9 weeks, students will also participate in an exploratory block that includes: Music Appreciation, Art, Drama, and IB. Our fifth grade students will enjoy many clubs and organizations, as well, while they learn and grow as middle school students.
Classen fifth-grade students are pre-majored, unlike our majored 6-8th grade Comets. All applicants to 5th grade will self-identify as a PRE-IB or PRE-VPA major. At the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, PRE-VPA students will learn more about the audition process. All students will have opportunities throughout the year to learn about all of the majors.
