Middle School teachers approach each class with thorough lesson plans, which include meaningful homework assignments. Advanced level courses are designed to meet the needs of talented students in art, chemistry, English, foreign languages and mathematics. These courses lay the foundation of the International Baccalaureate diploma program and the Advanced Placement program of the Upper School. Evaluation is an integral part of the instructional process. Examinations require the student to develop a course perspective and to reflect on acquired knowledge.
Students regularly undergo comprehensive evaluations, including midyear and final examinations.
