Fostering Growth & Independence
The Middle School curriculum is developed and implemented to foster growth and independence during a crucial time in a child’s development, early adolescence. Facilitated by highly skilled teachers who understand adolescents and are passionate about teaching the whole child, Middle School students develop academic confidence, leadership ability, and organizational skills in a safe environment.
