The teachers and guidance counselor get to know their students well. Our middle school teaching staff members are committed to promoting academic excellence in a supportive environment and have devised a recipe for success for all students by matching instruction and programs to the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social needs of a diverse student body. Teachers in every discipline work collaboratively in teams, as well as individually, to design curriculum that is intellectually challenging. An extensive and varied electives program expands concepts presented in core classes and offers opportunities for exploration in the fine and practical arts. Health and physical education classes are designed to meet the varying needs of young adolescents.
Programs also focus on emotional and social needs.
Counselors and teachers monitor the progress of students, consult with parents, and work to solve problems when they occur. Guidance initiatives provide peer mediation, discussion and study groups, Bruin Buddies, and recognition programs. Extracurricular activities and intramurals allow students to explore interests and grow socially. Late buses provide opportunities for students to stay after school for academic help, club meetings, musical performance rehearsals, math competitions, and athletic participation. Lake Braddock is a school in which the dream of success for all students becomes a reality.
