Middle School Division (Level 6 – Level 8)

We expect our oldest students to be leaders—both for themselves and within their community. Over the course of Levels 6-8, our students are given the opportunity to apply themselves in increasingly sophisticated ways. As is appropriate for a developmental stage characterized by increasing independence, our teachers guide Middle School students toward finding their own path, prepared to take on the challenges that will face them in whatever upper school they choose to attend.
