Middle School Academics
Curriculum that Empowers
Grand Canyon Private Academy (GCPA) believes in finding new ways of learning that work for all kinds of students. That's why we use the Stride K12 curriculum. It was created by an experienced team of educators using proven instructional approaches.
Socratic Seminar Teaching Method
Through this method of teaching, students engage in guided interactions among themselves on the topic at hand. Learning happens through the interaction of the group and not through lecture. This strategy helps:
- Develop higher cognitive abilities
- Develop the ability to respond
- Develop the ability to seek clarification and defend the ideas of others
- Develop the ability of keen observation of experience and feelings and how to present them effectively
