Lumen’s charter junior high school nurtures student individuality and independence

For many of our junior high students, attending Lumen is the first time they're experiencing an online learning environment with a built-in independent study expectation. While many public school students are now familiar with virtual learning, Lumen's online junior high requires students to learn a higher level of self-driven focus and dedication to stay on task without full-time supervision.

Our middle school curriculum takes this into consideration, balancing live online instruction with digital tools and teaching models to help students navigate an online-based education while giving them the space and support to grow both individually and academically.

Experience a Middle School Lesson

Lumen's online junior high courses are designed to challenge students academically, encourage engagement, and reward participation. The combination of live stream classes and independent study pushes students to discover self-driven dedication and focus while helping students of all learning styles create their own systems for connecting with the material.

In-Person Labs, Activities & Service Projects

Learning outside the classroom is just as important as learning within — and sometimes kids just need to get offline and get their hands dirty. During our in-person labs, activities, and service projects, Lumen scholars have the opportunity to engage, socialize, and learn from each other. These in-person excursions encourage students to apply what they've learned in the classroom to real-world situations and teach them how to collaborate in peer-to-peer group settings.

Junior High Parent Responsibilities

Lumen's junior high students benefit from small class sizes and autonomous professional educators experienced in tailoring curricula to fit each of our student's individual strengths, weaknesses, interests, and needs. Our goal is to help 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students develop an independent work ethic that will lead to academic success.

But we can't do it alone. Your role as a Lumen parent is to reinforce these lessons and help hold your maturing student accountable at home. Together, our support can nurture independence and self-reliance that will serve your child for the rest of their life.
