Middle School Learning Options at Eatonville Middle School and Columbia Crest Academy

Cluster Classroom Placement (Humanities) 

Middle school Highly Capable students will have Global Perspectives and English class options throughout the school year.

In this placement, eligible students are served in their home schools using cluster classrooms in which a group of other highly able students are placed together. Their classroom teachers use a variety of methods to provide continuous learning progress, challenge, and enrichment. Examples include, curriculum compacting, curriculum acceleration, interdisciplinary curriculum, and an emphasis on higher level thinking skills, but are not limited to: special projects, math problem-solving, and small group instruction stations. Middle School Math Highly Capable students who demonstrate advanced math skills may be placed a level higher than the designated grade level.

High School Options Grades 9-12

Highly Capable students can take Advanced Placement coursework, known as AP and, may also accelerate based on demonstrated and assessed talents. These course options provide rigor and complexity beyond that which is expected in the regular classroom, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary curriculum and higher-level thinking skills.
