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.
