Academics

The programs offered in Middle School begin to take on a more demanding pace for which the faculty works to prepare students. Higher concepts in each subject are introduced by faculty specializing in that subject. All subjects are sequential to become more in-depth with progressive grade levels.

Study halls are used to teach students how to work independently. Faculty members make themselves available to help students during the daily “Zero Hour,” a half-hour period before formal classes begin when concerns may be addressed on a one-to-one basis.
