Middle School
Grades 5 to 8
The Middle School serves as a catalyst in students’ personal growth enabling them to become active, productive and reflective participants in the society. The unique synergy between scholastic and co-scholastic opportunities empowers students to build essential life skills and propels them to be self-directed problem solvers and decision makers.
A pervasive listening culture and open-door policy to address adolescent concerns and issues forges strong, supportive relationships in a safe and more inclusive environment.
The Middle School Curriculum seeks to produce confident, competent learners through the development of learning communities, the stimulation of student/faculty discussions, and the encouragement of electronic exchanges.
