Academics

We are a student-centered community of learners, contributors and designers who grapple joyfully with complex ideas, texts and tasks that prepare students for the greatest success in college, career and life. Every day, our students read, write and engage in academic discourse that is grounded in meaningful questions and relevant problems.

When students leave Monroe Demonstration Academy, they will be better equipped for high school course options, scholarship opportunities, and extracurricular activities that are aligned with their interests and academic/career goals and be making tangible progress towards college and career readiness.

Twenty-First Century Learning

Learning and innovation skills are what separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in today’s world and those who are not. They include creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, and communication and collaboration.

In addition, Monroe promotes an understanding of academic content at much higher levels by weaving 21st century interdisciplinary themes into core subjects - themes like global awareness, and financial and entrepreneurial literacy, civic literacy, health literacy, and environmental literacy.
