Our class size allows us to give personalized attention to each student, nurturing and challenging them simultaneously.

Middle School students study math, science, Spanish, history, literature, cultures and geography in classes that are often linked across disciplines.

An emphasis on the arts teaches students to express themselves in ways that build confidence and foster the habits of mind of artists.

All Spanish language classes are taught in Spanish from the first day.

Sixth graders build research and note taking skills and discover all of the choices they have in STEM fields during a two-week integrated science and Humanities unit. They chose a scientist or mathematician from ancient times to the present, gather research from several print and online databases, write an outline, complete a bibliography, and collaborate to write and perform a scene in which four people from diverse disciplines, time periods and nationalities sit down and converse over tea.

Seventh graders grasp the early impact of global politics and imperialism on the Pacific Northwest through the Newspaper Project, where students work in teams to write a newspaper representing events in the early 1800's. Flexing their research and writing skills, students learn about global interest and indigenous perspectives in the region and how actions and policies from the time still impact us today.
