Science

"Students in a science classroom are taught to  think, learn, solve problems and make informed decisions. These skills are integral to every aspect of a student's education and life, from school to career. "The students are required to demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematically as they actively investigate scientific concepts and share the results of their experimentation. This leads to students that are engaged in learning and prepared for either the workforce or matriculation at an institution of higher learning.

Math

The Chapel Hill Middle School Mathematics Department is committed to providing an equitable learning environment where students can learn, communicate and reason mathematically. Through the teaching and learning process, students will strengthen mathematics skills and cultivate mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills. Students will be provided with learning experiences that requires critical thinking and real world application. Students' learning experiences will embody the concept that mathematics develop is essential. Each educational learning experience will be an intentional effort of continuous improvement of students' mathematical education. Teachers will provide opportunities for students to work collaboratively, self-assess and incorporate technology. 
 
Mathematics education empowers students to become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and lifelong learners. Students will be prepared to successfully compete in an ever-changing global society. It is our belief that by fostering students' logical, rational and analytical abilities, students will not only be able to succeed in that area of mathematics, but in other areas of academics as well. Mathematics education fosters students to develop confidence in their decision-making, risk-taking and perseverance.
