Electives

 

The elective program at Richmond Middle School allows students to explore a variety of subjects beyond their core academic classes. Our program is designed to meet students where they are, challenging them to grow while honoring their individual choices. 

Depending on their interests, students can use electives to sample a completely new skill or sign up for a favorite subject multiple times to dive as deeply into a passion as they desire. 

Elective courses vary in length to accommodate different levels of commitment: 

• Quarter-Long Electives: Designed for short-term exploration and skill-building. 
• Year-Long Electives: Designed for sustained study, including courses such as Band, Strings, Chorus, and Painting on Canvas. 

Note on Physical Education: In addition to their elective choices, all students participate in required physical education classes at least twice a week.
