Middle School is a unique time in a young person's life. It can be wonderful and stressful all at once! As a Voyager Staff, we strive to create a home for all students and we do so in a very intentional community plan. Your child will have two teachers in their 5/6 years and then transition to two teachers for 7/8 grades. We create two smaller communities to increase accountability, decrease the transitions from teacher to teacher and class to class, and to build steps to leadership, as students who were once the younger grade, become the older mentors.
On Voyager we also create opportunities for a 5-8 grade community to grow. Through our mentor/mentee program, challenge groups that compete for the Voyager cup in fun, creative, collaborative ways, plays, weekly whole house meetings, and literature groups, we hope for students to make connections that will last as they move through their four years in Voyager.
