Middle School Program Highlights

Recognizing that students need encouragement and support as they make the challenging transition from childhood to adolescence, we focus on the teacher-student relationship in middle school. Each student is assigned to an advisor who gets to know the student as an individual. Teachers meet weekly to give updates on student progress, discuss problems and challenges, probe opportunities for interdisciplinary connections and explore current educational theory to better serve our youth.

Advisory groups meet daily, creating an atmosphere that fosters interpersonal relationships and develops self-esteem. This is a time for reflection, learning organizational skills, exploring social interactions and creating a space for prayer.

During a typical day, students start in morning advisory and then move from classroom to classroom for both core subjects and enrichment classes, including Spanish, PhyEd, Music and Art..

All students participate in our weekly Experiential Wednesdays that include two morning electives followed by afternoon hands-on, project-based learning experiences. The elective offerings change every 9 weeks so students have a variety of electives they can participate in each year. 

Students move about in an environment where love of learning is a key ingredient to our strong academic program. Our high expectations and individualized learning plans challenge students and help them know they can succeed.
