Middle Level Philosophy
Our school embraces the philosophy of "Middle Level Education". We believe that our school community focuses on the whole child and that high academic expectations are coupled with social and emotional learning and well-being. Middle Level schools are schools of transition: transition from Elementary to Middle and from Middle toSecondary. It is also a transition from childhood through adolescence into young adulthood. We believe that students at this level need a special program that involves all aspects of academics and social life as well as personal well-being.
