  Engaged Learning Environment

  Our Middle School students learn by doing. You’ll find students launching rockets in science class, building simple machines in math, and crafting medieval armor while learning about the Dark Ages in history. Each year students hold capstone seminars open to the public where they present original research projects. In addition to their work in the classroom, students are hands-on in the community, participating in service-learning projects including assisting local charities.

  Exploring New Possibilities

  We believe learning has no boundaries. Students have control of their own learning and are encouraged to explore and experiment with the world around them. Enrichment class options in student media, chapel team, and environmental sustainability help students explore their interests and callings to service. There’s also opportunity for travel study trips to Washington D.C., Chattanooga, TN, the Florida Keys, and California.

  Collaborative Community

  Because of our small class sizes, students have opportunities to collaborate every day with their teachers and peers. The advisory program deepens relationships between faculty and their students. Regular tutorial periods allow students to work one-on-one with teachers. The Middle School also organizes a school-wide house system grouping students in varied grades to encourage working together.
