GRADES 7 & 8
Middle School
Middle school stands as a transition point -- Academically: students are moving from the foundational skills of elementary school to the higher level reasoning skills of senior high school. Developmentally: students are transitioning from childhood to adolescence. Recognizing that during these two years, most students will experience immense change, we are dedicated to reinforcing fundamental skills in all subjects while guiding students as they learn to collaborate, investigate, and present their ideas while mastering the necessary academic concepts.
