Abstract
8 Math - Algebra 1
The Academy of Tucson Middle School is pleased to announce a collaboration with the Academy of Tucson High School to offer qualifying eighth grade students the opportunity to take an advanced math class at the high school level during academic year 23-24. Students for this specific class will be required to take a test and receive teacher recommendation to take the course. This will ensure that students have the necessary prerequisites for success in the course.
Qualifying students will be taken to the AOT high school campus in the morning for this course and be brought back to the middle school for their remaining coursework. Students will have an opportunity to experience high school life at an A-Rated institution. This program will allow students to hone their high school readiness skills while receiving credit for B or better work. We are looking forward to a great experience!
Abstract
Model United Nations
We are also pleased to announce our initial participation in the junior diplomat program for 7th * 8th grade students in the Model United Nations program. This is a program that is designed to hone collaboration and debate skills. Many middle school students that participate in this program join the Model United Nations Program in high school as freshmen and continue until their senior year.
There are many activities that middle school students can participate in virtually through the program as well as in person. It is a great way to connect with other middle school students across the United States and globally. Students will not only have a chance to hone their oral defense and writing skills, but get an opportunity to enhance their social skills.
Our AOTMS students will have an opportunity to impact the world.
Please consider joining this program.
