SEVENTH GRADE INTEGRATED The Integrated Program is designed to bridge the gap between elementary school, in which a student has only one teacher, and high school, in which a student has many teachers. This is effected in the seventh grade by combining the English and world history' courses. It provides, more than any other course, a broad back- ground in several basic fields of knowledge.
