The Middle School

The middle school experience utilizes the student’s natural capacity for “wonder” to engage the faculties developed throughout the Lower School experience and further develop the moral and intellectual faculties that enable proper judgment and reason. Here again, such development primarily takes the form of an intellectually elevating conversation between the teacher, the students and the texts themselves.  Through such conversation, the student is challenged to reason properly (i.e., support conclusions with evidence) and learn to make right-ordered judgments (i.e., identify distinctions between real things).

Proficiency in reading is emphasized in all of our courses, as it is essential to all other studies.
