From your own experience, you likely understand the significant role middle school can play in shaping your child. The environment they are in will have a tremendous impact during this season of extraordinary growth — physically, emotionally, socially, and academically. Your child will be forming their identity as they learn to embrace their unique talents and interests, and you want to offer them the best learning experience.
Our middle school program is designed to be a meaningful time that offers more than a bridge between elementary school and high school. Below, you’ll find a brief overview of what we offer, including:
Building a culture of respect.
Middle school can be a challenging season as pre-teens learn to navigate conflict and build healthy relationships. We guide our students through this process by teaching them to:
Honor themselves and each other.
As part of our Advisory Program, students are grouped in sets of 5-6 and are taught to honor and respect themselves and others as they practice positive physical, emotional, and mental health.
Form authentic relationships.
Teachers meet students where they are academically because our small class sizes allow them to be intentional in building relationships.
Develop character.
Each month, students participate in service learning projects that center around a character trait. From cleaning up debris at the neighborhood park to reading aloud to younger students, our middle schoolers have the opportunity to grow by serving others.
Make wise choices.
We believe middle schoolers are empowered to do the right thing through positive incentives, and opportunities to see how good it feels to make wise choices.
School environment matters. Where will your middle schooler thrive?

A Safe Place to Learn and Grow
LEARN ABOUT CAMPUS SAFETY
Environment matters, and students in middle school crave a sense of community, safety, and security as much as younger children. Our K-12 campus is set in the quiet, residential area of Grey Haven. The middle school program has its own section of campus where students attend core classes. Our students share some spaces, such as the athletic fields, the makerspace, and library with other grades throughout the day.
