The current facility was opened in 1988 after several years of studying curriculum and facilities in middle school education. The gymnasium, completed in 1992, houses new physical education and fitness training facilities as well as an expanded competition gymnasium and improved locker facilities. The 29-member faculty are interested in working with this age group and are willing to focus on skills specific to the students' needs. Working in teams at each grade level, our faculty strive to provide the best possible education for this age group. Some faculty members teach courses in the upper school as well as the middle school giving them a broader view of the skills middle schoolers must possess to tackle the work in high school and beyond.
