Middle School

Curriculum Highlights

Our four-year sequence introduces students to developmentally appropriate concepts and then reinforces and builds on that knowledge over time.

• Our students become creative and responsible users of emerging technologies, leveraging tools like coding and robotics. Through hands-on learning experiences, they build the skills and mindset needed for a world driven by rapid technological change.

• Students benefit from tangible opportunities to learn characteristics of leadership and exemplify good character.

• We offer Spanish as our foreign language for grades K-8. Middle School students take Spanish as a core class, developing the confidence and skills they will need to succeed in high school Spanish.

• Students learn how to present themselves, speak confidently in public, and thrive in an increasingly complex, global society.

• Our robust arts and athletics programs provide a well-rounded experience for all students.

Starts in 5th Grade

As a PreK-8th Grade school, having our 5th-grade students as part of our Middle School makes sense. They are developmentally ready for more responsibility and learn at an early age how a rotation schedule works, how to be more independent, and rise to the challenge of being the leaders of the school. They are also able to participate in school team sports from an earlier age, and serve as mentors to our younger students through the BUDEE program.

Leaders of the School

As part of the Middle School leadership curriculum, students learn about presenting themselves, including interview skills such as shaking hands properly, appropriate dress, eye contact, and asking thoughtful questions.

Middle School students are looked up to on our campus. They understand that younger students are observing them, and they are key role models in building and nurturing a culture of kindness. These life skills set our students apart as mature and poised adolescents and prepare them for futures bright with opportunity.
