 | The Middle School continues and extends the philosophies begun in the Lower School both with a more diverse curriculum and developmentally appropriate instruction designed to meet the individual needs of emerging adolescents. Students experience a wide spectrum of perspectives and learning styles as they move through their day with different teachers and a different mix of students in each class.
Additionally, a Middle School counselor works with Middle School students in addressing and becoming more comfortable with many of the issues that contribute to this unique time in their lives.
Student Character
The Middle School strives for each student to have:
- Self-confidence and pride in him/herself
- Honesty and integrity through self-discipline
- Respect for the beliefs, ideas and property of others
- Opportunities to succeed, if not excel
- An awakening and satisfying of intellectual curiosity
- Development of creative and critical thinking
- Fulfillment through personal growth
- Awareness of social responsibility and appropriate social decisions
- Efficient and organized learning and study skills
- A feeling of belonging to a communal energy through contribution and tolerance of differences
