Middle School

Middle school, typically covering grades 6 to 8, serves as a transitional educational phase between elementary and high school. It provides students, usually ages 11 to 14, with a curriculum that combines core subjects like math, science, language arts, and social studies with exploratory classes such as art and music. This stage emphasizes developing critical thinking, social skills, and independent learning. Educators aim to support students' emotional and social growth during this time, as they navigate adolescence and prepare for the academic challenges of high school. It is a crucial period for building foundational knowledge and skills.
