Excerpt from Basics: Key to Learning The following is an addenda to A Parent's Guide to Magnet Schools. The Federal Court order for Phase III established the Nathan Hale School as a District IX magnet school.

Next year there will be openings at all grade levels especially for white students. Description of School The Nathan Hale school is a small sturdy building constructed in 1909. It is located in an older residential section of Roxbury called Fort Hill. The high ceilinged classrooms have tall windows and brightly painted walls. The children's desks are modern and can be moved for grouping. School Facilities Library Reading Lab Resource room Teacher's Resource room Magnet Theme The magnet theme is academics-plus. The aim of the school is to emphasize the basic subjects of elementary education, such as reading, math, spelling, grammar, and handwriting. Learning objectives and achievement levels are clearly stated for each grade and the children, within their capabilities, are expected to accomplish these goals before moving to the next grade. The result is expected to be sound skills for all and an enhanced feeling of self esteem. Educational Program The Nathan Hale has a graded structure with teacher-directed instruction. The curriculum will be planned for a five year coordinated program. The Economy Reading Program will be used in conjunction with the Merrill Linguistics Program, and the D.C. Heath Math Series will be used through all five grades. Thus there will be continuity in acquiring the basic skills from year to year.
