7th-8th Grade Experience

7th-8th Grade Experience

The upper half of middle school is a time for students to step forward as leaders while continuing to grow in confidence and independence. Teachers guide them to think more deeply, take greater ownership of their learning, and discover new strengths. Many students begin exploring upper school opportunities such as first-level language and math courses, giving them a taste of what lies ahead. The foundation built in earlier grades now blossoms into stronger skills, meaningful responsibility, and the excitement of seeing their hard work take shape.
