BYU Independent Study provides a wide range of middle school courses designed to cater to students' educational requirements, equipping them for their transition to high school, regardless of whether they opt for in-person, hybrid, or online schooling.
Students enhance their communication skills through reading age-appropriate works of fiction and nonfiction, vocabulary development, literary analysis, and practicing various writing strategies such as research papers, persuasive writing, and other genres.
Our middle school math courses encourage students to develop problem-solving abilities and mathematical proficiency, introducing them to mathematical concepts like functions and integers, exponents, and basic geometry as preparation for high school math courses.
Middle school science courses introduce students to foundational scientific concepts within the realms of biology, human body systems, earth sciences, chemistry, and physics—all in relation to real life and as preparation for higher-level science learning.
Topics taught in seventh and eighth-grade social science courses include survey courses on World History and four courses on United States History, from origins through recent times.
Beyond taking middle school-level courses, students may also take high school courses for core and elective credits.
