Middle School Horizons

Boston Trinity believes that a love for learning is central to academic excellence. One way we help to facilitate this love of learning in the Middle School is through the Horizons program.

Horizons enables Middle School students to have choice in what they study. It offers an opportunity to learn in ways besides typical classes and allows students to engage more creatively with the world in which they live.

In both 7th and 8th Grade, students choose from one of the four Horizons course options: Living Lab, Middle School Play, Model United Nations, and Robotics.

Horizons Offerings 2021-2022

Creative Writing

The Creative Writing Horizons elective course will be run in the style of a writer's workshop. Students will learn the craft of creative composition, as well as the art of critique. In addition to writing original pieces of poetry and flash fiction, students will learn how to receive and give their fellow writers thoughtful feedback in order to revise their work. Each writer will be given a variety of writing prompts, which will cultivate the incorporation of sensory diction and figurative language into their drafts and revisions.

Middle School Play

Every year we invite the seventh and eighth grade to audition for a middle school production. A team of experienced faculty support the cast and crew as they engage with all aspects of production, encouraging students to take risks not only on the stage as performers, but behind the scenes as designers, composers, technicians and managers. This experience requires students to collaborate fully, embrace responsibility, and strive for excellence. Past productions include The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Fiddler on the Roof.

Exploration of Local Plant Life and Urban Gardens

Robotics

A fusion of technology education and the pursuit of a just world, Robotics requires students to do more than "geek out" with fancy toys. They survey the history of automation and discuss the benefits and ethical challenges of technological advancement. The goal of the course is for students to thoughtfully craft robotic creations while considering the full impact of their creations on their community, both locally and globally.
