CELEBRATING Uniqueness
Sterne's Program for Grades 6-8
Middle School is a time when students begin deeper exploration of all academic areas and discover who they are as learners. Knowing that no two middle school students are alike, our model includes flexible grouping across grade levels. Students are placed into courses according to their individual needs and abilities rather than solely based on grade level. In a dynamic and engaging environment, students explore passions and strengths through inquiry-based learning and hands-on activities. Academic interventions are part of our integrated learning model so that minimal scaffolding from the outside is needed—no “pull outs” or “school after school.” Student leadership, mentorship, and enrichment activities provide opportunities to build focus, grow confidence, and develop friendships.
