Meet our 6th grade English and History teachers. Most incoming 6th graders have the same teacher for both English and History so these two classes are often referred to as Core. Since 6th graders see their Core teacher every day, Core class operates almost like a homeroom. Our Core teachers are adept at welcoming 6th graders, acclimating them to Mission Hill, and supporting them in building the skills they need to be successful middle school scholars.

Meet our Science Team! Our Science Team uses experiential, inquiry-based learning to encourage students to make sense of the world around them. Lessons are rooted in real world phenomena and students are encouraged to use their critical thinking, inquiry and collaboration skills. We have adopted the SEPUP curriculum from the Lawrence Hall of Sciences which is based on the N.G.S.S. Science and Engineering Practices. In addition to using evidence to develop scientific arguments, students learn how to design solutions for real-life problems, and the importance of being science-literate voters and citizens.

Mission Hill has a robust Electives Program. With options that include World Language, Woodshop, and more, your child will have opportunities to explore a variety of interests during their time at Mission Hill. Take some time to watch the video from Gwen Rendon, our Spanish teacher and hear about what students learn in the Spanish elective class.
