Programs Craig Middle School is organized into a caring, nurturing environment that offers all students a variety of opportunities to achieve their academic potential. The organization of the curriculum and programs to meet the individual needs of students serves as the basis for reaching the school's goals for academic excellence.

All students belong to a team and develop an identity within their teams.
Teams have block scheduling which allows teachers flexibility in working with individuals, small groups, and large groups in order to best meet individual needs of students. Block scheduling also provides the team teachers with a daily common planning period for the purpose of discussing such issues as curriculum coordination and activity planning. Each team of teachers has a clear set of expectations for students in order to make their learning environment more consistent.
