The Middle School’s small classes are ideal settings for learning, and each boy has the opportunity to participate, get involved, and benefit from daily individual attention. Fifth-grade boys continue to do most of their learning in homeroom, changing classes for math, science, language, and various special subjects.
The curriculum is classical and traditional, while cultivating the further development of critical thinking, problem solving, and academic risk-taking skills.
