“The overall expectations and character building are excellent. The appreciation for diversity has surpassed our expectations.” - Canterbury Parent
Our Middle School allows students to make a transition to greater independence and responsibility in each grade while supported by a strong school network of advisors, faculty and parents. Classes are scheduled and designed to facilitate interdepartmental projects and activities. Teachers work together to discuss student progress and help establish learning programs. In addition to the core curriculum of language arts, social studies, mathematics and science, students continue a broad program of foreign language, physical education and fine arts.
The Middle School provides an environment in which each student will develop a strong academic background and a sense of ethical and social responsibility. Students learn to communicate effectively and appropriately orally, in writing and through the fine arts, and they are encouraged to participate in activities to explore and develop interests and talents. Comprehensive instruction teaches Middle School students to demonstrate positive social skills and manners, to employ computer technology across the curriculum and to persevere to reach their goals.
