Middle School Life Issues

Students are assigned to grade-level classes once per cycle for shared exploration of interpersonal concerns in a safe, structured setting. Students explore and investigate issues that are relevant both in their adolescent lives and in society at large. These include personal, community, and global concerns. Teachers introduce topics in a developmentally appropriate manner and are guided by an established curriculum that stresses cause and effect, responsibility to self and to others, and decision-making. Scheduled visits by outside speakers enable students to hear experts’ perspectives.

Note: Curriculum is fluid and ever changing. Trevor Day School reserves the right to change its courses and the content of these courses. It should also be noted that policies, practices, and procedures may change during an academic year
