Middle School

Middle School (Grades 6-8)
Growing, Learning, and Leading

Middle School is a time of incredible transformation—a whirlwind of personal growth, academic challenge, and increasing independence. We embrace this exciting journey, guiding students as they develop confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of self.
At the heart of our Middle School experience are the strong relationships students build with their teachers and peers. 
Our educators build a foundation of trust and support, creating an environment where students feel ready to learn, navigate the complexities of adolescence, and develop a deep sense of belonging. Advisory groups and our student-led Town Hall meetings strengthen this connection, giving students space to share, celebrate their talents, and grow as leaders.

With a dedicated Middle School building on campus, students engage in robust academics and explore new interests. Whether excelling in the classroom, exploring sports and electives, leading in Student Council, or discovering their creative voice, students find their own paths to success. We empower students to take ownership of their learning, advocate for themselves, and graduate as problem-solvers, self-directed learners, and community builders, ready to make deep contributions in high school, college, and beyond.
