Elective Courses
A constantly evolving selection of elective courses.
The Dorris-Eaton elective program is designed to allow sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students to enroll in something for which they already have a passion, explore new topics, or participate in academic teams.
Elective offerings change each trimester and are a mixture of students’ favorites and new classes. Because electives are not graded, students and their teachers engage in experiences for the sheer pleasure of the activities.
