What is the Middle School curriculum?

What does inquiry-based learning experiences look like in Grades 7-8?

As students progress through the two years of Middle School, they work within an inquiry-based learning model that incorporates increasing levels of sophistication and complexity. As this inquiry indicates, students develop a rich understanding of how to fine, use, and make sense of evidence. This equips them for success at whatever secondary school they choose to attend upon graduation.

Curricular and co-curricular activities specially geared to learners from Grades 7-8.
