Middle School, 6th Grade-8th Grade
Middle School
Our middle school program prepares students for success in high school and beyond through rigorous academics, faith formation, and meaningful learning experiences. Our curriculum encourages critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration, and helps our students grow as confident, independent learners. Students build strong skills across all subject areas through research-based programs and engaging instruction.
Sixth through eighth grade students pursue a three-year mathematics program that meets each student at his or her mathematical ability. Our mathematics program leverages Simple Solutions and IXL to provide personalized learning and prepare students for advanced mathematics coursework.
Through HMH Into Literature, students strengthen reading, writing and analytical skills through literature studies and writing across genres. Social studies courses explore ancient civilizations and key events in American history, while developing critical thinking and encouraging civic responsibility. Science instruction, supported by the Prentice Hall Science Series, engages students in hands-on investigation, engineering design, and scientific inquiry.
Faith formation is woven throughout the school week, including weekly school mass, celebration of feast days, and our Spirit & Service Program. Theology instruction, through the Loyola Press religion curriculum, deepens our students’ understanding of Catholic teachings, Scripture, and the importance of serving others, helping our students grow into compassionate leaders.
Middle School students participate in Field trips including a 7th grade trip to Boston and an 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C. Technology utilization for grades 6-7 is via a one-to-one Chromebook; this is utilized daily to access homework via Google Classroom.
