MIDDLE SCHOOL
Our middle school curriculum is dedicated to the continual pursuit of excellence in academics while providing a bridge between elementary and high school teaching approaches. We teach our scholars to be self-directed, active learners, and to identify their teachers as engaged facilitators.
Our comprehensive academic program strives to provide a challenging curriculum to benefit all learners within the classroom setting. During this transitional period for our scholars, we emphasize and celebrate their identity in Christ while sharpening their minds and talents.
Highlights:
Scholars work on projects over an extended period of time – from a week up to a semester – that engages them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question.
Scholars demonstrate their knowledge and skills by developing a public product or presentation for a real audience.
Scholars develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills in the context of doing authentic, meaningful projects.
Scholars experience creative energy while working in collaborative groups.
Scholars are inducted and participate in Character Houses.
Scholars choose their arts experience through quarterly elective offerings in culinary, performing, visual, and communicative arts.
