There are 20 full and part time faculty members and a Division Head, who is responsible for a Grade 8 homeroom and two subject areas. Classrooms are housed in the original building, which was remodeled in recent years. Each day has eight teaching periods with one period reserved for physical education. Class sizes vary, with a maximum enrollment of approximately 17 students per homeroom. In Grades 7 and 8, students are grouped in mathematics and foreign language by developmental readiness to accommodate individual learning styles and needs.
Faculty members are available for additional assistance, remediation and enrichment.
The Middle School program is diverse and designed to meet the needs of the whole child. In addition to academic development, attention is also given to students' social and emotional development. The program recognizes the individuality of each student and encourages students to take risks in an atmosphere of support and safety. The instructional program is based on a strong academic foundation that fosters and reinforces the growth of basic knowledge, while developing skills to nurture the development of the student's full potential. The curriculum encourages students to extend and apply concepts in other areas, allowing the individual to challenge his or her higher level thinking skills.
