Philosophy

The Middle School program is designed to nurture the intellectual, ethical, social/emotional and physical development of youngsters during their transition from childhood to adolescence. Students experiencing the rapid growth that occurs in early adolescence flourish in an educational environment that is distinctly different from either the Lower or High School models

Program of study:

All Middle School students are expected to carry a full program of studies. Generally, this means major courses in English, mathematics, modern language, science, social studies, physical education and health.

In addition, art, music and drama are required in Grade 6, 7 and 8. Independence and organization are stressed throughout the program as students learn to do research and use a wide variety of technologies to enhance the acquisition, analysis, communication and presentation of information. Teachers emphasize active learning, using a student-centered approach and a variety of assessment techniques. The goal is to promote academic excellence and provide a supportive and creative atmosphere to cultivate a lifelong love of learning.
