Students are challenged academically and invited to think deeply and grapple with complex and challenging topics. At the same time, our Middle School program is designed to be especially nurturing and responsive to young adolescents as they navigate a challenging stage of development. Your child learns how to tackle both academic and practical life challenges with confidence and grit.

In a developmentally responsive way, Middle School teachers form students into critical thinkers through a program that is:

• Skills-based – our curriculum is designed around the academic and personal skills that the middle school student must internalize to be successful.
• Integrated – teachers in the areas of math, science, and humanities work together to create a complementary curriculum that reinforces targeted skills and concepts and enables students to make global connections.
• Differentiated – guided by their teachers, students work to their personal best with courses, assignments, and instruction tailored to challenge each student to reach their highest academic potential.
• Relevant and authentic – whenever possible, connections are made between study and real-world applications. The curriculum is rich with experiential learning and immersion opportunities to allow students to learn more broadly and deeply.
• Holistic – our academic curriculum includes a life skills component, which teaches students to learn about themselves as individuals and as members of a broader community.

Alongside fostering global citizenship and honoring a diverse range of experiences, we weave an anti-racist and anti-bias culture of inclusion into the fabric of our community.
