Intellectual & Emotional Development

Our Middle School curriculum compliments the rapid intellectual and emotional development of our students by providing a thoughtfully measured transition between the discipline of early learning and the rigorous pace of advanced study. They are also exploring extracurricular opportunities through athletics, fine arts, and clubs.

Our teachers are some of the nicest and kindest people I’ve ever met. They really do care about us and set a good example for us to follow.
