With the challenges our public school system is facing from funding to over-crowded classrooms, the demand for private education continues to grow. The middle school grades are the “foundation years” when children develop a range and depth of knowledge, social skills and an interest in continuing to develop their education. Integrity, attitude, work ethic, confidence and a sense of personal responsibility set the stage for future learning habits.
The right school can make a profound difference in a child’s academic education, social development and future. Since 1993, our middle schools have partnered with parents to develop high-achieving, confident young scholars. Through our small class sizes and our close knit family, the staff can identify and develop each student’s unique talents and capabilities.
At most middle schools, 25 – 35 students share the same classroom and the attention of one teacher whose energy is spread across several subjects. These limited resources may not allow even the best public school to offer specialty classes and electives that many of our schools offer in art, music, drama, and other important and enriching experiences. Many of our schools average a 17 -20 student/teacher ratio and students are taught on an individualized level which matches the students’ abilities. Hands-on learning is also integrated through science investigations and field trips.
A good education is not always guaranteed by the latest textbooks, educational trends, or computers in every classroom. The best education is one in which students respect themselves, teachers and others, and where the students assume responsibility themselves.
