Aqua Cluster is a two-year loop program for Grades 6-7. We are currently in the 7th Grade year of our 6th loop.
At the heart of the Aqua Cluster philosophy is the belief that each student is unique in his/her physical, social, and academic development. The cluster tries to provide the opportunity for students to learn from and with others during their two year experience in Aqua. It fosters an environment where differing opinions are listened to and respected. Self-respect and respect for others are key characteristics of the program. Aqua teachers are facilitators of learning; they are model learners, who guide students in their exploration and share their enthusiasm for learning.
