Curriculum

MIRACLES follows a structured core curriculum designed to help students reach certain milestones in technology, education and life skills. 

The seven-year curriculum begins in sixth grade and continues through 12th grade.  It draws upon the best technological, educational and life skills software and online offerings to deliver an integrated program that is age and skill appropriate for each student.  The three core areas are:

TECHNOLOGY SKILLS – basic understanding of technology and the Internet, and familiarity with standard office software, building toward certification in systems, networks, database development, programming, or specialization in web and graphic design, which will ultimately lead to job opportunities

EDUCATION – with a particular focus on the development and refinement of core reading and math skills

LIFE SKILLS – behavior skills, including leadership, citizenship, communication and team work, to help students become productive and engaged members of their community

MIRACLES classes are held a minimum of six hours each week during the school year (and sometimes in the summer) with a class of 20 students led by three rigorously trained instructors.  Upon completion of the seven-year program, it is expected that students will:

1. Graduate from high school at or above grade level in reading and math skills
2. Have the skills to enter college or the work force; and
3. Have the skills to pass a professional technology certification exam
