Principal's Message Principal's Message Amity Regional Junior High School in Bethany, Connecticut is committed to meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of the adolescent. Academically, students are placed in levels according to their ability, performance and potential. Regardless of the level, the work in all levels is designed to be appropriately challenging. Students are evaluated and assessed using a variety of different tools and methods to meet their individual needs.
Socialization is also an important aspect of a student's growth.
The ninth grade teachers also work together within and between departments to implement interdisciplinary instruction. Ninth graders also choose among several electives in order to pursue their individual interests. The emotional needs of the junior high school student are met in many ways. Every student is assigned a guidance counselor who assists the student with academic choices or helps the student resolve issues which may interfere with a student's academic performance. Some students may need individualized programs because of learning disabilities, and they would be referred to our school psychologist.
