Our Middle School serves students in grades 6-8. Foremost in our minds is preparing them for success in high school and beyond.
Building on the Lower School program, reading and language development continue to form the foundation of the program.
Recognizing the importance of developing increasingly independent students, Center School teachers strive to create a learning environment where our Middle School students feel connected, competent, and in control of their lives.
Students participate in a full curriculum of classes, including language arts, math, science, social studies, art, music, and physical education. Incorporated into each class, students are taught organizational and time management skills, research methods, and study strategies.
Recognizing the importance of developing increasingly independent students, Center School teachers strive to create a learning environment where our Middle School students feel connected, competent, and in control of their lives. Students are taught to develop an understanding of their particular learning styles and choose effective strategies for their personal success. An advisory system and specialized homeroom curriculum also teach students how to work together, set goals, and celebrate their individual strengths and interests.
