Junior High 7–8
Challenge, Independence, and Preparation
Navigator Pointe Academy’s junior-high program serves students in grades 7 and 8. Students deepen their academic knowledge, take greater responsibility for their learning, strengthen communication and problem-solving skills, and prepare for the expectations of high school.
A Utah-Aligned Junior-High Program
Instruction is aligned with the Utah Core Standards and organized around the knowledge and skills students need in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and other current school-approved courses. Teachers use clear instruction, discussion, reading, writing, problem solving, investigation, practice, and assessment to help students progress.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
Students read increasingly complex texts, develop evidence-based interpretations, write for different purposes, and strengthen discussion and communication skills.
MATHEMATICS
Students develop mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving through the school’s current Utah-aligned mathematics courses and resources.
SCIENCE
Students use evidence, models, data, and investigation to study the current seventh- and eighth-grade Utah science standards.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Students build historical and civic knowledge, evaluate sources, discuss important questions, and communicate claims with evidence.
Growing as Learners and Community Members
Junior-high students are expected to take increasing ownership of their preparation, choices, work, and relationships. PATH gives students and staff a shared language for the habits and behaviors that support learning, belonging, responsibility, and positive participation across the school.
INDEPENDENCE
Students learn to manage materials, deadlines, class transitions, and increasingly complex work.
COMMUNICATION
Students practice asking questions, explaining their thinking, listening to others, and communicating respectfully.
CHARACTER
Students connect academic effort with NPA’s values of Respect, Responsibility, Courage, Honest, Self-Discipline, and Excellence.
Preparing for the Next Step
The seventh- and eighth-grade experience is designed to help students build the knowledge, learning habits, self-advocacy, organization, and resilience they will need in high school and beyond.
