Unique Classroom Experience

Our Middle School Students move freely in a calm, safe learning environment and take on real-life challenges in the classroom. Their academic year is full of unique learning opportunities such as designing, building, and programming a robotic hand, learning the strategies of formal debate, completing 100 chemistry experiments, participating in community service, and organizing their own graduation ceremony. 

Paperless Environment

Students learn to produce their assignments using professional-level software programs and online libraries. Kids at this age are capable thinkers who are deeply interested in contributing to the world around them; think of the work of young Greta Thunberg! 

MMS Graduates

Students who thrive in our mastery-based classrooms centered on self-paced learning go on to succeed in high school and college as well. Unlike traditional classrooms, our students are not pushed ahead in lockstep, which can cause debilitating gaps in knowledge. Instead, students move ahead only when they have earned a 90% or above on any quiz, test, or essay. They get feedback as they learn and help when they need it most. Teachers track student progress, identify gaps, and give students the one-on-one attention needed to help them succeed, and when students are active drivers of their own education, they thrive.

Ninety percent of our graduates enter high school taking honors or Advanced Placement classes in their freshman year and receive generous merit scholarships to independent high schools and boarding schools throughout the world.
