MIDDLE SCHOOL

The Middle School years form the critical transition period from a student competent in the basics of reading, writing and mathematics to one who has not only fully mastered them, but is launching into more serious academic study. For Middle School students, our concentration is on maintaining the standard of those basic tools learned earlier, becoming focused and independent as a student, getting an increased conceptual understanding of how academic subjects integrate and relate to real life, and raising the student's willingness and ability to draw conclusions and make judgments.

Students generally enter the Middle School at the age of eleven and graduate into the Upper School by about fifteen years of age. The Middle School encompasses Forms 5 and 6, equivalent to grades 7, 8 and 9.
