The Upper Middle School Program utilizes a looping curricular design, enabling students to enroll in this program for 1 or 2 years. We organize content and concepts into “even/odd” years. Core academics include English, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science.
The Upper Middle School Program incorporates a diversity of co-curricular experiences to develop essential skills. Co-curricular coursework complements the learning in core academic courses and offers students a foundation in essential skills such as music, athletics, and design.
