Curriculum

The Middle School curriculum strikes a balance between the acquisition of exceptional study and learning skills and the immersion in specific areas of study. We provide exciting and engaging learning environments. Our grade-level faculty teams foster an interdisciplinary approach to both of these objectives.

The Middle School years are crucial in the formation of young people’s perceptions about themselves and their world. Our goal is to create a secure learning environment that helps young people develop their academic talents and gain a sense of optimism about their own potential. We strive to create a school culture that fosters healthy adolescent growth.

Community
We place great emphasis on building a sense of community among our students and teachers. Activities and programs stress constructive interaction among peers and performing service projects.

Advisor Program
Each student is a member of a small advisor group, which allows students to build a strong relationship with a teacher who serves as an advisor and mentor.
