Eighth Grade Home School Curriculum

Preparing for High School and Beyond

Eighth Grade students study narrative poetry and prose that correspond to the American history program. Through literature and our American history textbook, atlas, and geography workbooks, your child is immersed in the country’s intellectual,
physical, and political identities.

Basics of Algebra

Eighth Grade Calvert Math emphasizes problem-solving steps and helps lead into the concepts of algebra. Other topics include scientific notation, rational and irrational numbers, and graphing functions.

Enhancing Reading Comprehension

By this point, your child’s writing, vocabulary, and grammar skills will be intertwined. Reading comprehension is built through poetry reading, speeches, sonnets, plays, and award-winning novels. This is a new program with a mix of classic, contemporary, and multicultural literature.

Real-Life Science and Technology

In science, the focus will be on physical, life, and earth sciences such as electricity, magnetism, the structure of plant and animal cells, genetics, space, topography, and erosion. In technology, your child will further his or her abilities in presentations, desktop publishing, spreadsheets, and HTML.

Learning Strategies Guidebook

Our online Learning Strategies Guidebook helps develop skills for studying, organizing, test taking, note-taking, and researching. Our Eighth Grade curriculum builds on the skills of earlier grades while preparing your child for high school.
