Our middle school provides a setting for learning that is focused on the educational and social needs of children in grades six to eight.

In early adolescence, students still need to acquire study skills and “learn how to learn.” As such, we stress reading, writing, and speaking skills, as well as the ability to take notes, make decisions, think, reason, use the library and computers, and take tests.

The middle school curriculum also fosters the development of desirable attitudes and values, and promotes the student's personal growth. Positive reinforcement, recognition for jobs well done, and the development of self-esteem are paramount.

Homeroom teachers serve as advisors who monitor and care for students daily. The director of the middle school, a school counselor, and the teachers are personal resources for the students.

Academic offerings help middle school students to define and strengthen their individual interests and self-concepts, and to master the knowledge and skills required by a vigorous curriculum.

Typical middle school courses include:

Grade 6: English, literature, math, science, world history, foreign language, physical education, elective classes

Grade 8: English, literature, math, science, American history, foreign language, physical education, elective classes
