4. Learn about our new dual-track 8th Grade SELECT program
Families are invited to receive information on the 8th Grade SELECT program which will feature two academic tracks beginning in Fall 2019: the original all-honors program, and a new college preparatory level for students who wish to improve their academic and study skills in preparation for our 9th grade curriculum.
