Intermediate School (Grades 5-8)
To complement the developing interests and abilities of students in the middle years, the Intermediate School curriculum allows students to strengthen skills and apply principles introduced in the Lower School. More advanced research, writing projects and discussions help students to enhance understanding and clear communication. Participation in increasingly sophisticated applications of concepts and experiential projects across the curriculum keeps learning active, challenging and relevant for the 5th to 8th grader.
