The middle school years, coming at the onset of
adolescence, are when a rigorous yet formative environment is
crucial. It is during the middle school years that the habits and
skills acquired during previous grades come to fruition. Our
environment presents each student with a variety of teachers
grouped by subject with an approach that cultivates the skills
needed for High School in an atmosphere that supports, teaches and
demands individual responsibility.It is the combination of our small class sizes, formative environment and our balanced and academically challenging curriculum that prepares well-rounded individuals for a demanding college-prep high school program.
