Middle School
Nativity offers a unique experience for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Recognizing the special needs of the adolescent age group, Nativity has built a Middle School program which is rigorous and academically challenging while incorporating programs that prepare young adolescents for the social and academic independence that comes with high school.
Our Middle School students are challenged to develop independent thinking and organizational skills while being observed and cared for by a team of teachers that understands their individual learning needs.
The uniqueness of the Middle School stems from being part of a “K through 8” program. With a balanced emphasis of personal support and academic rigor, our middle school faculty has an interdisciplinary team approach to developing each student’s learning plan. Each student has a Teacher Advisor and is provided time to meet with that advisor on a regular basis. Furthermore, our middle school students meet with faculty members and their parents to discuss their personal learning goals.
Curriculum
Features of Nativity’s middle school curriculum include project-based learning, student-led conferencing, peer-mentoring, service learning, and leadership opportunities.
Lablearner science curriculum at the middle school level further stresses independent critical thinking and problem solving skills while exposing students to a variety of in-depth topics in life sciences, chemistry, physics and environmental science.
