Math: The instruction and materials of mathematics aligns to the California-adopted Common Core State Standards. We use the curriculum Math in Focus, Singapore Math by Marshall Cavendish, distributed by Houton Mifflin Harcourt (Courses 1-3)
History: The instruction and materials of history aligns to the California History-Social Science framework. We use the curriculum, IMPACT California Social Studies, distributed by McGraw Hill Education (grades 6-8).
English: The instruction and materials of English Language Arts aligns to the California-adopted Common Core State Standards. We use supplemental materials, including but not limited to, novels and online resources. All grades read a minimum of five novels, with lessons created by teachers that are rigorous, relevant, and align to the common core standards.
Science: The instruction and materials are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). California has delineated the middle school (6th-8th grade) NGSS by grade level. As we are teaching all national standards each year, we will therefore be covering all state standards for each grade, each year. California state approved NGSS standards will be spiraled through each year. Our daily instruction model gives us an additional 85-325 minutes of science instruction each week over the instructional minutes of a traditional middle school – based on a traditional middle school having science once a day for a 55 minute period, and STA having a science block four days a week for a minimum of 90 minutes per day, in addition to many Fridays being a four hour hands on block of time for project based learning, which will incorporate science and other disciplines.

On November 8, 2022, California voters approved Proposition 28: The Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act. The measure required the state to establish a new, ongoing program supporting arts instruction in schools beginning in 2023–24
The legislation allocates 1 percent of the kindergarten through grade twelve (K–12) portion of the Proposition 98 funding guarantee provided in the prior fiscal year, excluding funding appropriated for the AMS education program. Local educational agencies (LEAs) with 500 or more students are required to ensure that at least 80 percent of AMS funds to be expended are used to employ certificated or classified employees to provide arts education program instruction. The remaining funds must be used for training, supplies and materials, and arts educational partnership programs, with no more than 1 percent of funds received to be used for an LEA’s administrative expenses.
