Learning
All students at West Jefferson Middle School take core subject classes in English/Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
Each student also has scheduled class periods where a variety of electives are available to explore art, digital design, music, physical education, pre-engineering, robotics, Spanish, theater, video game design, and more. Specific course offerings vary by year. Certain electives may be required based on a student's grade level – for example, all students take Computer Applications once during their sixth grade year – or academic needs.
