Our School
An Ivy League Middle School Academy in Brownsville.
Preparing Today’s Children to Become Tomorrow’s Leaders.
We are an accelerated learning program where our emphasis is placed on team work, cooperation, discipline, reading, writing and mathematics. Students and staff must act with integrity and character at all times. We believe that there is no substitute for hard work. Discipline is necessary for students to learn. Education allows students to dream by equipping students with the skills they need to make their dreams come true.
Students receive 90 minutes of Humanities (ELA & Social Studies combined) instruction each day, including independent reading. All students are required to read a minimum of 15 novels by the end of the school year and write 10 pieces of original writing.
KAPPA V students also receive Math instruction each day. Our math program includes the use of manipulatives, charts, and student to student discussions to increase critical thinking skills.
All students receive social studies, science and foreign language instruction (Spanish). This enables students to effectively compete for placement in independent or specialized high schools.
Students also receive Physical Education, Health, Art, Drama, and Technology. Cultural/social activities that increase experiential knowledge for students are inherent components of our program as well as college trips and educational trips. Our extended day program runs from October to April, for two hours after school, two days a week and on Saturdays for three hours. This helps students prepare for the ELA, Science, and Math state exams. Students who require additional academic support will receive small group tutoring throughout the school year as well as remediation in English Language Arts and Mathematics on scheduled Saturdays and during extended day hours.
