In both seventh and eighth grade science the students cover life, physical, and earth and space science. The seventh graders learn about cells and genetics, matter, and weather and climate. The eighth graders cover the topics of adaptations, waves, and space. All topics are approached in a highly interactive way with many chances for hands on activities and investigations. The students also participate in a STEM Challenge in the early spring.

The seventh grade ELA curriculum covers both reading and writing. The students read various selections that include fiction, poetry, and informational text. Grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling skills are incorporated into these lessons. The students also participate in Literature Circles once per quarter. Writing focuses on persuasive and argumentative essays.
