MIDDLE SCHOOL

Our middle school students not only excel academically, but they learn to become student leaders through participation in service activities and athletic programs. Our middle school students grow leaps and bounds during this important developmental time.

Curriculum Overview

In seventh grade our students learn to balance their academic learning with time management, organizational and interpersonal skills. Ultimately these skills and others help students to achieve our global goal of acquiring valuable critical thinking skills.

In eighth grade our students are focused on developing the independence needed to thrive in high school. Throughout the year we measure student progress so that we can adjust our lessons appropriately.
