Middle School

Students will meet daily with their Executive Team, with an extended session each Wednesday. This dedicated time focuses on executive functioning skill development, including organization, planning, time management, study strategies, and self-advocacy. Executive Team also provides leadership development and consistent adult mentorship, ensuring students receive personalized guidance and support as they grow academically and socially.

O.W.L. Time is a daily, hour-long block designed to promote student choice and emerging independence. During this time, students may seek targeted learning support, collaborate with peers on projects, participate in clubs, or work independently on academic tasks. O.W.L. Time empowers students to take ownership of their learning, practice decision-making, and develop the skills necessary to manage their time and responsibilities effectively.

Each Wednesday follows a customized schedule, featuring extended Executive Team time and a dedicated afternoon block called Impact Time. Impact Time provides students with experiential learning opportunities, community partnerships, and leadership-focused projects. Through these experiences, students deepen their understanding of core academic subjects while connecting learning to real-world applications and community engagement.

In seventh grade, all students will participate in a Future-Ready elective during the spring semester. This course is designed to support the transition to high school by building self-awareness, goal-setting skills, and academic readiness. In eighth grade, students will expand this work through a year-long elective that guides them through the high school application process while continuing to prepare them for the transition to high school. 8th graders will develop a learning portfolio and complete a capstone project. This culminating experience allows students to explore an area of passion, demonstrate mastery, and showcase their growth as learners and leaders.
