Related Arts at Meigs
In addition to traditional core studies, the curriculum is enhanced with courses in the arts and, in eighth grade, foreign language.

Students may also take level one French, Spanish or Latin to earn a foreign language high school credit. High school credits in physical science, Integrated Math I and Integrated Math II can also be earned.
