Elements of Middle School Academics at PKY
Mastery-Based Learning
We don’t always get every answer right the first time. If we did, we wouldn’t have learned anything new. This is the basis for our mastery-based stance. We believe all students are capable of reaching mastery; therefore, we encourage students to retake assessments, resubmit assignments, and continue practicing until they’ve met their goals.
Advisory
Weekly advisory time focuses on community building, developing executive functioning skills, career exploration, mental health awareness, and self-reflection on academic goals.
One-to-One Chromebooks
Students are given the privilege and responsibility of being assigned their own personal Chromebooks to take home and to school each day.
