The over-riding goals of our middle school program are to allow the students to become independent thinkers, to develop social skills, to prepare for high school and beyond, and to find and develop their own special talents. We do this by offering a curriculum that includes independent projects, SAT preparation, individualized instruction, team building, peer and teacher evaluations, parent-teacher-student communication, and other techniques designed to fully exploit the potential of each student.
