Middle School

Middle School is a bustling, vibrant community of teachers and students grades 5 through 8. These "middle" years are a time for students to take on increased responsibility in academics and activities. In the classroom or white water rafting down a river during an outdoor education trip, Middle School students really begin to learn who they are.

The program at this level promotes the intellectual and social growth of each student in an atmosphere that respects the emerging adolescent. Middle School students learn to apply their abilities in critical thinking and analysis to new material in the sciences and the humanities and begin study of a foreign language. They take courses in language arts and literature, history and the social sciences, French, Spanish, and/or Latin, mathematics, science, computer, physical education, and the arts. In the Library Media Center, they spend time developing skills in research, reading, and analysis. Middle School students also enjoy increased involvement in community service, student government, extracurricular activities, and sports teams. They learn what it means to assume leadership positions.
