Core Classes
There are 5 classes considered "core classes." These courses are year-round, daily classes that every student must take. These include: Language Arts, Math, Foreign Language, Social Studies, and Science. A teacher is assigned to each subject, and only teaches that subject throughout the 5 core periods of the day. With the exception of the Foreign Languages teacher, a "team" is considered to be composed of the 4 other core classes. Each team contains approximately 100 students, 4 (possibly 5, depending on which teams Foreign Language Teachers are placed) core subject teachers, and several support personnel (student teachers, assistants, etc.). The team that a student receives generally determines which teachers they have for core classes. When a student is assigned a core teacher (including Foreign Languages) not on his primary team, he is said to "cross-team". For the 2005-2006 school year, the team a student is on is based on his/her Social Studies teacher.

The very heart and core of ages past,
The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives.”
