As Our Middle school students progress from the concrete to the
abstract, they move from self-contained classes and classrooms to a
departmental setting with multiple teachers and innovative schedules to
meet each student’s learning needs and potentials.
Middle school students are encouraged to become independent
learners, learn to accept personal responsibility, and develop
interpersonal skills. They continue to develop a positive self-image,
and are given opportunities to pursue new interests and discover new
talents both individually as well as in cooperative settings and teams.
They are offered support in encountering challenges that are
characteristic to the preteen years, including changes in their bodies,
emotions, social interactions, and their ways of thinking.
Our
goals for these grades include:
- Build a solid foundation in
the core academic subjects of, science, math, writing, literature,
and social studies to prepare them for high school and beyond.
- Develop a respect for the
rights and feelings of others
- Teach the importance of
responsibility, follow-through, and problem-solving
- Introduce greater
sophistication in the use of technology as part of the learning
process
