The Middle School

A big, comfortable Victorian house nestled in one of Cambridge's beautiful neighborhoods, the Middle School campus is an open and relaxed setting where the mind is stretched and character developed. Here students can exercise all of their talents and uncover new ones. They begin to make their own choices, take on more responsibilities, and see themselves as part of the exciting world that's opening up all around them.

We realize students will need to risk and try new opportunities at the Middle School, not only to give them the confidence in particular areas of strength, but to hone and nurture an attitude of assuredness that comes in doing ones' best, regardless of the task. Students emerge from their years at the Middle School with confidence and spunk, ready to meet the challenges ahead.

An integral part of the Middle School program, the Co-curriculum includes core programs taught by advisors on such topics as group dynamics, communication, current events and social issues. The goals of the program include: to prepare students to participate meaningfully in an increasingly complex and diverse world; to teach students how to handle conflict, ask evocative questions, and advocate for themselves; and to prepare students for healthy living and an understanding of the value of nutrition and exercise.
