Middle School Academics
All of Campus Canyon College Preparatory Academy's courses are designed to provide students with critical thinking and 21st-century skills, real-world applications, and college readiness.
Honors Track
The middle school honors program is designed to meet the needs of high-achieving students through advanced learning opportunities which provide a qualitatively differentiated curriculum, acceleration, and depth and complexity of subject matter. Honors courses are offered in mathematics and language arts for 7th and 8th graders. The curriculum includes extensive reading and writing and requires that students have excellent work habits and strong organizational skills.
Students in 6th grade honors courses receiving B’s or higher each trimester will continue in honors. Students will be re-evaluated for placement in honors/accelerated classes in 7th and 8th grade using the following criteria:
Math
Here is the math flow chart that shows the sequence and connection between courses.
- Average of three trimesters math grades
- End-of-year algebra readiness test

Language Arts
- Average of three trimesters language arts grades
- End-of-year writing assessment

Field Trips
Getting students out of the classroom and into the community is a perfect way to show them that what they are learning in class applies to the "real world." Each grade level goes on multiple field trips each year, including Outdoor Education, college campus tours, and tours of historical sites/museums. Keep checking back for this year's adventures!
