Middle School<br />
An Engaging Program<br />
for the Middle Years<br />
The Middle School provides students from Grade 6 to Grade 8 the opportunity to develop<br />
higher order academic skills and concepts, participate in positive outreach experiences, and<br />
ready themselves for High School<br />
New Building, New Community<br />
The most significant development in Middle School was<br />
the inauguration of a new building and courtyard. In<br />
addition to providing more classroom space for Middle<br />
School-specific academic programming, the new building<br />
and courtyard have created a greater sense of<br />
community, allowing for more opportunities to socialize,<br />
engage in field games and sports during breaks,<br />
and organize co-curricular activities at an appropriate<br />
developmental level. Four years after the Middle School<br />
was founded, this new space has ensured for the<br />
continued development of this division’s self-identity.<br />
Scheduling<br />
To better prepare for High<br />
School, the Middle School<br />
implemented individualized<br />
academic scheduling for Grade 7<br />
and Grade 8. The benefits of this<br />
scheduling format include<br />
heterogeneous integration of<br />
student groups across subjects<br />
and preparation for Pre-AP and<br />
AP course selection in High<br />
School. All Middle School<br />
students still enjoy the support<br />
provided by counselors and<br />
homeroom teachers in a weekly<br />
Advisory period with their formal<br />
homeroom group.<br />
