Middle School

A safe place for students to explore possibilities

Middle school represents a unique time in our students’ lives when they are growing and developing in all areas. In addition to all of the physical, emotional and social changes students are going through, we also know they are keenly aware and sensitive to fitting in and finding the right path.

We get middle schoolers. We understand their unique needs. Our staff are experts in more than just the content they teach. We are committed to providing learning experiences that are developmentally responsive, challenging, empowering, equitable and a whole lot of fun! Students explore a variety of interests in hands-on and engaging ways. Whenever possible, subject areas (like science and art or social studies and math) are integrated to provide relevant, real-world experiences both inside and outside of the classroom.

Our students build relationships with their teachers and peers while acquiring skills such as self-advocacy, organization, time management, communication, and effective study strategies.

“Teachers have shown a true desire to invest in each student and offer any additional personalization  necessary. Building relationships between students and staff is sure to guarantee success in all areas!”
