Grades 5 - 8 The middle school faculty work together to provide a strong academic foundation in preparation for upper school while consistently applying age appropriate practices for students in grades five through eight. Teachers provide independent work opportunities while maintaining the high level of accountability required by this age group. Classroom teachers are actively engaged in small group and individual instruction. Critical thinking skills and creativity are developed extensively across all discipline areas. Students are exposed to a variety of courses with math levels ranging from Math 1 to Algebra I in the middle school. Students are able to take Spanish 1, and every student is required to take a grammar/writing course in addition to the regular English program. Technology, PE, speech, choral music, band, Spanish, art, chess, logic, computers and drama are all available through our enrichment program. |
