Aligned with NCSS and NAIS standards, our Middle School history curriculum is built on the belief that examining and understanding the past is paramount in preparing students for the future. Students gain a solid foundation of historical knowledge while learning to analyze multiple perspectives and develop critical reading, writing, and discussion skills.

Following our philosophy of “making the world larger as the student grows older,” the program expands students’ awareness of the world around them. Coursework prepares boys for Upper School, culminating in the eighth grade Capstone Project — a trimester-long, interdisciplinary experience combining research, writing, collaboration, interviews, and a formal presentation to peers and faculty.
