At Nature Hill Intermediate School, students:

• Connect with each other, their community, and themselves.
• Explore their interests, strengths, and opportunities.
• Soar toward personal and academic growth and excellence.

Our intermediate school students complete a required core academic program of mathematics, literacy (reading and writing), social studies, and science. At the fifth and sixth grade level, a “base” of teachers will be responsible for your child’s core academic experience. At the seventh and eighth grade level, students will receive an individual schedule of classes that will be taught by content-area specialists.  Students also participate in Explores Programming that is a mix of required courses and student selected courses that meet every other day.  This rotation is referred to as “A & B” day rotation.

For fifth and sixth grade Explores Programming students have an option for their music course selection: performance-based band, choir, orchestra or participate in a general music course similar in structure to the elementary level.  As seventh & eighth graders students have an opportunity to choose more Explore course options. Physical Education and Wellness and a World Language course remain required for all students.

Our intermediate program planning guide includes a listing of grade-level courses and Explore courses that our students can select for the new school year.  You'll find descriptions and information on core subjects and a variety of additional course options and clubs available to students.
