middle school
At a time in one’s life marked by profound physical, social, emotional, and intellectual, changes, our Middle School faculty, advisers, and coaches help each child navigate their journey through early adolescence. Grounded in the Student Competencies, we recognize that this journey is unique for each child. Our program focuses on student engagement and deeper learning, while at the same time building a respectful, collaborative, and ethical community.

SIGNATURE PROGRAMS
The Middle School has a long tradition of unique programs that move the students out of their daily schedules, and at times grade-specific classrooms, to challenge them to collaborate in different ways, to make larger, and perhaps global connections, and to stretch their thinking and understanding.
These are the elements that create LEEP Week in the Middle School. During this week, students are placed in mixed grade groups and presented with a challenge to "hack" a solution for. Drawing on their skill with design thinking, the students brainstorm ideas, design potential solutions, test and refine their proposals, and finally present their solutions to the community. This student led program all takes place in 3 - 4 days!
SERVICE LEARNING
Tying into our Student Competencies to be Ethical and Globally Minded, and as Citizens of a greater community, connecting our students with important social initiatives and organizations that make a positive difference in our community and world is an important part of the learning that takes place in the Middle School.
