Our goal at Kilmer Middle School is to provide a challenging academic program that will also match the interests and talents of all students. We encourage students to select middle school courses that reflect their academic abilities, strengths, and interests in order to create a balanced academic schedule. Students can also select elective courses that offer an opportunity for enrichment and exploration. All students will participate in an academic advising session with their school counselor to select courses for the 2023-2024 school year. During course registration, students, teachers, counselors, and parents will work collaboratively to design each student’s individualized academic program that will promote student success, achievement, and preparedness for the next grade level. 

To learn more about course options for seventh and eighth grade at Kilmer Middle School, please access the Middle School Course Catalog (7th Grade or 8th Grade) and the Curriculum Resources page.
