Middle School
Grade 6-8
Welcome to Middle School
At our institution, we centre our educational approach around social and emotional development through Responsive Classroom, as well as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), to provide a comprehensive learning experience for our middle school students.
Our primary goal is to prepare these students holistically, ensuring they are not only academically ready for high school but also equipped with vital life skills.
Guided by our Learning Philosophy and Community Principles, our educational programs, classes, and interactions with students are grounded in a commitment to nurturing the whole child. Recognizing that middle school-age students are in a crucial stage of development where they shape their sense of self and identity through significant choices, we embrace the role of guides, mentors, and coaches in addition to being teachers focused solely on academics.
This philosophy shapes our middle school culture, fostering collaboration rather than mere compliance. Building and nurturing relationships lie at the core of this culture. These relationships span from student-teacher and peer interactions to staff and family connections. To cultivate such relationships, we actively teach and integrate our Community Principles, emphasizing kindness, positive assumptions, sustainable actions, and the value of partnerships.
Our curriculum is designed to be challenging yet adaptable to each student's individual needs. Alongside the standard subjects, we offer a robust arts, technology, and physical education program. Furthermore, we allocate daily time for tailored academic support and opportunities for advanced learning. Recognizing the unpredictable and ever-evolving nature of the future, we place significant emphasis on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary learning.
Beyond the core curriculum, our school offers co-curricular learning experiences. These encompass Sports, STEAM, Art, and Performing Arts. In summary, the Green School's Middle School is dedicated to nurturing social and emotional growth while aligning with CCSS to provide a comprehensive education. By fostering relationships, embracing interdisciplinary learning, and offering diverse co-curricular opportunities, we ensure that our middle schoolers are not only academically prepared for high school but also equipped with the skills and perspectives needed for their future endeavours. Welcome to a holistic and enriching educational journey!
