Middle Years Education
Welcome to the Middle Years Grades 3-5
Our Middle Years students are offered a gentle transition from social learning and gentle academics, to more challenging academic rhythms, passion projects, and guided bilingual project-based learning experiences.
Beginning in the Middle Years, students begin navigating both independent and collaborative challenges, inquiry and research, and hands-on community development. They receive mentorship from both seasonal specialists and long-term mentors. Middle Years students maintain a physical portfolio; an anthology of projects and learning reflections throughout the year.
The Middle Years academic journey is a blend of increasing rigor and challenge, and collaborative social learning rhythms reminiscent of the Early Years such as musical integration, verses, and guided reading and writing.
All Middle Years Core teachers co-create each themed quarterly learning cycle together, ensuring interdisciplinary connections and overlay to deepen understanding.
