Academics
Middle School
Middle School is a time of great change and increasing independence for students. Through inquiry and self-reflection, students are figuring out their best learning modes: “Do I learn best by reading? By writing? By listening? What combination of research and retrieval works best for me?”
The Middle School division offers a challenging academic sequence in an environment designed to enhance intellectual and personal development. Students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades follow a curriculum of English, mathematics, history, science, computer science, and foreign language. Visual arts, music, performing arts, physical education, and health & wellness are also a part of every week.
The departmentalized schedule is designed to introduce curious students to academic subjects taught by specialists and to promote the further development of their independence and self-discipline. Along with heavier course loads, Middle School students learn to integrate more discretionary time into their schedules. Trevor’s advisory program helps guide students in time management and goal-setting, as they tackle more sophisticated content.

We believe that Middle School is more than a time to prepare for Upper School; it is a unique time in every child's life that should be treasured.
