ABOUT
US
Were your in-between years
of middle school full of challenges -- both academically and socially?
The middle school program seeks to provide for the intellectual,
physical, emotional, social and cultural needs of students in grades
6-8. Allowing for a smooth transition from childhood to adolescence
and from elementary to high school is a priority. A balanced curriculum
is built around the core academic courses and provides a variety
of educational programs which address the needs of all students.
