    Varsity+
    MIDDLE SCHOOL (GRADES 6 – 8)

    Varsity+ courses are offered daily on the following schedule. Students do not need to select a class to join upon registration, as each week students will be able to select which day/time they would like to attend class in advance. On a given week, each class will be covering a different topic so students will be able to select the class that best aligns with the area they’d like to learn. (If students would prefer schedule consistency, they’re welcome to join class on the same day every week). Please take a look at our sample schedule (linked here) to get an idea of what a semester schedule might look like.
