Writing poetry is one of the activities that is very successful at Ten Broeck-KMI. Poetry is an especially appropriate medium for troubled students because it provides students with a forum to explore and discuss their feelings and it allows the students to demonstrate their creative abilities. The students take great pride in their poems, and most of the students take their finished work home with them when they leave the hospital.

Integrated Science

Ten-Broeck KMI is participating in active physics as part of the G.E. initiative for math and science. Ms. Karen is conducting the active physics program. This program is a combination of physics and environmental science that emphasizes the inquiry method. At the end of each unit, there are performance assessments (chapter challenges) that allow students to apply the principles they have learned.

Ten-Broeck KMI participates in the Ramp Up literacy program. Ramp Up offers a different pedagogy, a rigorous curriculum, and sixty minute classes designed to help striving readers meet the same high standaards that are emphasized for every student in the Jefferson County School System.
