Making Middle School Matter

academic spotlight

In Grades 5 - 12, students have a different teacher for each subject. In Grades 6 - 8, students take three periods each of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics weekly; differentiated math begins in grade 6; Latin in grade 5 and 6, and in grade 7, students select their World Language. We uniquely prepare students for our high school and raise student learning to a global standard.
