Middle School Curriculum
The Middle School campus is in the heart of St. Margaret’s Episcopal School just as its grades 6, 7 and 8, are in the middle of our Preschool through grade 12 school. Middle School classrooms are places of active and engaged students, led by innovative and caring faculty.
The Middle School faculty are led by the Middle School principal, assistant principal as well as by academic department chairs under the supervision and guidance of the school-wide Academic Dean. This departmental structure provides the faculty with guidance and professional development opportunities led by subject matter experts.
Strong study habits are continually reinforced and practiced to develop the skills necessary for the college-preparatory work in the Upper School. The combination of academic vigor with dynamic learning experiences blend together with a variety of extracurricular activities that encourage students to establish positive values for learning and life. Although academic achievement lies at the heart of our mission, we remain committed to shaping the entire young person through spiritual, artistic, athletic, and social experiences.
