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. During course registration, students will collaborate with teachers, school counselors, and their parents to select their individualized academic program that will promote student success, achievement, and preparedness for the next grade level. Current Kilmer students will participate in a one on one academic advising session with their school counselor to finalize courses for the 2024-2025 school year. 

There will be multiple opportunities for students to learn about course options and access information to help guide their course selection decisions including curriculum night events, content specific presentations by teachers to share course options, and the Kilmer Middle School course catalog and course videos available on the Curriculum and Elective Resource page.
