Eighth Grade

Looking For Fame, Making A Name!

This year, our Eighth Grade class theme is “Hollywood!” As part of the SPBS departmentalized Junior High, this is a great year for education, spiritual growth and opportunities!

Students change classes for their academic subjects. We offer accelerated math and literature as well as a resource program. In the academic subjects we use various methods of teaching: lecture, hands-on projects, class discussions, cooperative group activities, oral presentations, and virtual experiences on the computer, including PowerPoint.

The Eighth Grade has a comprehensive Christian Service Program and involves the students in Mass planning, prayer services and numerous retreats.

Eighth Grade fieldtrip to the court houseMany exciting field trips occur during this graduation year, such as visits to the Court House, Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, Museum of Tolerance, Ventura Beach and Magic Mountain. In addition, we involve the students in numerous drama opportunities including plays by Shakespeare.

Our Eighth Grade students serve as role models for our younger grades, and they are truly the leaders of the school, as they prepare to graduate and move on to high school.

Lights, Cameras, Action!
