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 have an opportunity to take P.E, art, computer, drama, and music at Meigs. Sixth and seventh graders rotate these throughout the years. Band or strings classes are available to students in grades six through eight.

For the students' eighth grade year, students can audition for advanced classes in art and drama. Advanced related arts students attend these classes all year.  Students may also take level one Spanish 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.
