Middle school in Rutherford Private School

Junior High School

• Age – from 14 years,
• The period is 1 or 2 years.

The school provides an inclusive program for grades 9 and 10, which can be completed in person or virtually.

Students take a maximum of five courses per semester instead of studying for the traditional semester for many schools. This approach helps to make a more effective schedule, taking into account the versatile development of students in different subject disciplines.

Also, one of the main aspects of the program is the opportunity to complete two classes in just one year: students who are especially successful in their studies will be able to study all the necessary subjects externally.

In the first semester, the courses of the 9th grade are studied:

• Principles of Mathematics,
• English language
• Science

During the second semester, students will complete the Grade 10 curriculum, which includes:

• Principles of Mathematics,
