Courses and Electives
The middle school day consists of homeroom, seven
50-minute periods, and a 30-minute lunch. Courses include:
The academic year also features lectures from guest speakers, performances from touring artists, field trips to area museums, and an overnight trip to Space Camp. Eighth graders have the opportunity to participate in a capstone trip that provides a culminating experiential trip with relevant curriculum learning objectives. Future plans include school organized summer trips for 5th - 8th grade students and their families to enhance cultural learning in support of the three languages taught at GLOBE.
As a language school all students are enrolled in high school credit at GLOBE.
There are two paces for language classes at GLOBE, College Preparatory Track and Accelerated Track. There are no remedial classes for language at The GLOBE Academy.
GLOBE uses data from the classroom, teacher recommendation, reading assessments, and STAMP results to determine a recommendation for College Preparatory or Accelerated Pace.
At The GLOBE Academy, all middle school students are enrolled in high school credit in their middle school language courses. Our students follow the language curriculum of the Georgia Standards of Excellence framework.
As GLOBE is a language school, we feel strongly that our middle school students should be provided the option to have access to high school credit. We also believe all students in our language program should be exposed to the high-level material a high school course contains. However, we recognize that not every student is prepared to earn high school credit for their academic efforts in middle school.
Accordingly, we offer two alternatives for students in each Track:
