Middle School

(Grade 6, 7 & 8 )

The Middle School provides a transition for the students; it builds on the solid foundation established in the Elementary School while at the same time providing them greater independence and responsibility for their own learning.

The children are supported in their academic and social growth through small classes, through participation in a variety of extra curricular activities and through intra-mural athletic programs. Middle School students go on many trips in Italy and to other parts of Europe, such as Paris and London. In addition to Italian, French is introduced as the second foreign language for all students beginning in the sixth grade. Selected students my be accelerated in mathematics, in foreign languages and occasionally in language arts, depending on their backgrounds and their levels of performance in the classroom and on assessment procedures established by the faculty.
