MIDDLE SCHOOL ACADEMIC PROGRAM

MIDDLE SCHOOL (6-8 grades)

The Middle School program has been introduced to satisfy two important criteria. It strives to be unique, offering the students a structure and program that differs from elementary and high school. It is also designed to help students make the transition from elementary to high school. These twin emphases, uniqueness and transition, make middle school a place where special things happen. The overall aim of instruction in the middle school is a balance between teacher-directed and student-directed learning. Problem-solving, inquiry-oriented methods help to increase the relevance of the middle school program. Inquiry methods, combined with independent study and other related approaches, help to develop increased self-direction and responsibility among middle school pupils, as do various methods of classroom management and behavior management used by teachers.
