Academics

---

The Middle School academic program is comprehensive, challenging, purposeful and integrated. Thematic teaching emphasizes the interdisciplinary relationships among subjects, helping the Middle School student to learn about one subject through another. The programs in grades six through eight complement each other with a theme that unites the program for the year in History, Math, English, World Languages and Fine Arts. The Middle School celebrates the themes and ideas explored during a Fine Arts Festival in the spring term. The Middle School curriculum provides strategies tailored to each student's learning style that allow them to become critical and strategic thinkers as well as independent and confident learners in a global community. Teachers design their teaching methods around how their students learn best. They help them to absorb the material and utilize it to make connections and inferences.
