Small classes averaging 15 encourage a high level of rapport between students and teachers. Our middle school faculty know how to tap and channel the intellectual energy and passion of middle school girls.
During the middle school years, students gradually take ownership of their learning. They grow in self-knowledge, build and value friendships, and come to understand their responsibility to each other as well as to the wider community.
Our middle school curriculum sets girls up for success in our rigorous upper school college preparatory, honors and AP courses, while a wide variety of cocurricular activities allows them to explore and develop interests.
