The most revolutionary change was the new schedule for qualified seventh graders. They studied Spanish, English, and geogrophy in a two hour block. This will enable the students to pursue a language for six years. Another co-operative teaching program was the combining of American history and American literature in the eighth grade. This provided a flexible schedule so that students could meet in one or two groups. Art ond music teachers acted os resource teachers in order to broaden the course.
